How a Visit With Dr. Yadav Works

1. 1

   Book a Free 15-Minute Video Consult

   Talk through what's going on, hear how Dr. Yadav can help, and ask about scheduling and paperwork before you commit. Evening and weekend times are available. There's no charge, and you decide afterward whether to book a full visit.

   Your 60-Minute First Visit With Dr. Hardik Yadav, MD

   Dr. Yadav takes a detailed personal and family history. Depending on what you're dealing with, he uses a standard rating scale to put a number on it: the PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, ASRS for ADHD, or MDQ for bipolar disorder. If it would help choose a medication, he can order genetic testing to see how your body processes it.

   Pay by Card, Then Request a Superbill

   The first 60-minute visit is $350 and follow-up visits are $200. Dr. Yadav is out-of-network and doesn't bill insurance, so you pay in full before each visit by credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card. Afterward you can request a superbill, an itemized receipt with the CPT codes already on it, to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. How much comes back depends on your plan.

   30-Minute Follow-Ups That Track Your Progress

   Follow-up visits run about 30 minutes, longer when you need it. Dr. Yadav rechecks the same rating scales each time, so a change in how you feel shows up as a number, and he adjusts your plan based on what you report. You see him at every visit, so the person adjusting your treatment already knows your history.
