		<p>Since she does not participate with any insurance plans, Dr Spellman can and <i>does refuse</i> to use electronic medical records!&nbsp; Patients pay Dr. Spellman privately and directly and she offers them a <i>paper</i> insurance claim form to submit to their insurance for reimbursement - if they have Out of Network Benefits – and if they wish to submit.&nbsp; A major difference in privacy (if they do submit) is that the insurance company cannot get access to your records or to your private information because Dr. Spellman uses paper only -not electronic records.&nbsp; The only thing she puts on the insurance claim form are code numbers and dates.&nbsp; No details.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most high level professionals do not want any record of psychiatric care so do they not submit claim forms.&nbsp;<br></p>
<p></p>
<p>If you call your insurance, tell them Dr. Spellman is an Out of Network MD-psychiatrist and that she will be spending 50 minutes with you each session.&nbsp; The "procedure code" for the first session is always 90792.&nbsp; Subsequent sessions are coded differently.&nbsp; The&nbsp; two "procedures" Dr. Spellman will typically combine during those subsequent 50-minute sessions are&nbsp; 99213 with 90836.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Dr. Spellman offers a&nbsp; discounted 4- session package since most people need at least 4 sessions to get back on track.&nbsp; Call or text her for details.&nbsp; She will want to speak with you briefly and learn what your needs are to see if she thinks she can help you - before she makes an appointment with you.</p>
