What your patient can expect

Here is exactly how care unfolds so you can set accurate expectations before referring.

First contact

Free 15-minute consultation

Dr. Busch meets with the patient to learn about their needs and determine fit together. Most patients are seen for an initial evaluation within 1–2 weeks of this call.

Adults

60-minute initial evaluation

Dr. Busch reviews criteria for common psychiatric diagnoses and develops a plan together with the patient. If medications are part of the plan, monthly follow-ups are scheduled until a regimen is established, then frequency decreases. Therapy sessions begin weekly and adjust to the patient's needs.

Children & Adolescents

2-hour initial evaluation

The first hour is with parents — gathering developmental history and hearing current concerns. The second hour is with the child: observing, assessing, and asking age-appropriate questions. Family-centered from the start.

Setting clear expectations with families

Dr. Busch is a private pay, out-of-network practice. Patients pay at the time of service and receive a superbill to submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement. Depending on the plan, reimbursement may range from 0% to 80%.

Initial Evaluation — Adults
$600
60-minute comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Diagnosis review and collaborative treatment planning included.
Initial Evaluation — Children & Adolescents
$1,200
2-hour evaluation: 60 min with parents (developmental history + current concerns) + 60 min with the child.
Medication Follow-Up
$350
30-minute medication management. Monthly until regimen is established, then frequency decreases.
Weekly Psychotherapy
$600 / hr
Weekly to start, then frequency adjusted to match the patient's clinical needs and goals over time.
Language you can use with families: "Dr. Busch is not in-network with any insurance companies. Patients pay at the time of service and we provide a superbill for potential reimbursement. Depending on your plan, reimbursement may range from 0% to 80%."

Your questions, answered.

Everything you and your front desk team need to know before referring a patient.

Making a Referral

The simplest referral is a warm handoff — let your patient know Dr. Busch is a good fit, briefly mention she is private pay/out-of-network, and hand them the trifold. The QR code on the trifold takes them directly to scheduling.

To send patient information directly: email name, phone, and email to info@drbiancabusch.com or fax to (617) 812-9342. We will reach out to them directly.

The single most impactful thing you can do is briefly explain out-of-network care before they leave your office. Patients who hear it from you are far more likely to follow through.

Suggested language: "Dr. Busch does not take insurance, but she provides paperwork so you can submit for reimbursement. Depending on your plan you may receive 20–80% back. She will walk you through it."

A free 15-minute consultation is often available within the same week. Full initial evaluations are typically scheduled within 1–2 weeks of that call.

Insurance & Fees

Dr. Busch is out-of-network with all insurance plans. Patients pay at the time of service and receive a superbill to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Depending on the plan, reimbursement may range from 0% to 80%.

This model allows Dr. Busch to offer longer evaluation times, more flexible scheduling, and care that is not constrained by insurance authorization requirements.

  • Initial evaluation (adults): $600 / 60 minutes
  • Initial evaluation (children/adolescents): $1,200 / 2 hours
  • Medication follow-up: $350 / 30 minutes
  • Weekly psychotherapy: $600 / hour

Patients are always welcome to ask questions about fees during the free 15-minute consultation.

Yes. Dr. Busch can prescribe controlled substances for patients physically located in TX, IL, and MA. NY is pending. Please confirm the patient's state of residence when this is a clinical consideration.

Clinical Collaboration

Absolutely. Dr. Busch actively collaborates with referring pediatricians, PCPs, therapists, and school counselors throughout treatment — with a signed release from the patient or guardian. She personally closes the loop with referring providers at the initiation of care.

Note: Communication always requires a signed Release of Information, which Dr. Busch obtains at the initial evaluation before sharing any clinical information.
