What tapering with us costs

One self-pay price, or billed to your insurance. Either way you get the same program: the intake, the schedule, the prescribing and the follow-ups.

Insurance plans we work with

Coverage depends on your specific plan. We check it before your intake so you know what you will pay before you commit to anything.

Two ways to pay

There is one program and one level of care. The only question is who pays for it.

Self-pay

No insurance involved

$400/month

Billed monthly, for as long as your taper runs

A flat monthly fee that covers the whole program while you are on it. Nothing is billed to an insurer and no claim is filed.

  • ✓Intake visit with a provider, about an hour
  • ✓A written, dose-by-dose taper schedule for your medication
  • ✓Prescribing of the medication being tapered, for the duration of the taper
  • ✓Follow-up visits every one to four weeks, telehealth or in person
  • ✓The Prescriby app for your schedule, symptom logging and messaging
  • ✓A written summary for your own provider when the taper is complete

Your plan's rate

If your plan is accepted, we bill your insurer directly and you pay whatever your copay, coinsurance and deductible come to.

  • ✓The same program as self-pay: intake, taper schedule, prescribing and follow-ups
  • ✓We verify your coverage before your intake visit is booked
  • ✓We bill your insurer directly
  • ✓You pay your plan's copay or coinsurance, not the self-pay rate
How billing works

What you will be asked, and when

When you first get in touch we ask which insurance you have, or whether you would rather self-pay. If you are using insurance, we check your coverage before the intake visit is booked, so you are not finding out about a cost after the fact.

The self-pay fee is a flat monthly charge for the duration of the taper. Because taper length varies by medication, dose and how long you have been taking it, your provider will give you a realistic estimate of how many months to expect at intake.

The medication itself is dispensed by your pharmacy in the normal way and is billed separately from the program, under whatever pharmacy benefit you have.
