Insurance, fees, and policies stuff?
Insurance services managed by Rula. Once registered, please request Casey Cuddy, PMHNP-C as provider.
Fee for service payments can be paid by cash, check, Zelle, or most credit, debit, & HSA cards.
Sorry, Medicare & Medicaid are not accepted for session payment, but both Medicare and Medicaid will cover approved medications, labs, and other OPRA-related expenses.
Service fees could be reimbursable to you, or applied to your deductible, by your insurer. Please contact it to determine your out-of-network insurance benefits. If asked, the out-of-network provider NPI number is 1164838348.
Free 15-minute telephone consultation. The required in-person 90-minute intake assessment is $225, and a required medication prescribing services membership is $50-per-month. Psychotherapy and document requests are billed at $150-per-hour.
Rescheduled or cancelled appointments require 24-hour notice to avoid a no-show. First no-show is free, but is $75-per-instance thereafter.
Scheduling?
Patients with insurance should use Rula for scheduling. Fee for service should use Appointments & Login link at the top of every page, call (646) 875-8659, or email help@cuddy.org. Please include your full name, phone number, date of birth, and email address in your message.
Why the patient account?
There are many administrative and other tasks which need to be completed by the practice in coordination with the patient. The Patient Account enables you to 1) review, complete, sign, and upload forms, documents & results, 2) complete symptom- and diagnosis-related questionnaires, 3) manage appointments & reminders, 4) participate in telehealth sessions (in-person preferred), 5) make payments, and 6) secure message. The patient account enables many administrative and other tasks so that session time can instead be spent on treatment.
Medications like Xanax, Adderall, and opiates?
Benzodiazepines can be safely prescribed for short-term uses. In rare cases, these medications are prescribed long-term at reasonable and safe doses, if appropriate. Patients who are accustomed to high dosing would be required to immediately taper to lower doses, and to trial antihypertensives, or other more targeted medication interventions.
Stimulant prescribing is selective due to ADHD overdiagnosis. Sorry, opiate and maintenance therapies are not currently offered.
Please note that controlled substances require a signed prescribing contract.
