Therapist's note
Dr. Curran MD's private solo practice is fee-for-service, which means payment is due at the time of the session in cash or credit card. I am not contracted with any insurance companies, nor Medicare or MassHealth/Medicaid. Another term for this is OON, out-of-network. Traditionally doctors like me provide a statement called a Superbill, for you to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, which can be substantial. Many households have insurance benefits for OON psychiatrists. HSA type accounts can also be used just like credit cards for my services. As OON doctors, we are not limited in the services we can provide to you. Prior authorizations are not needed when you have OON benefits.
