Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be seen in person?
Dr. Auluck's practice is conducted 100% through Telemedicine or "Virtual Medicine." This is significantly more convenient and preferred by patients. Patients do not have to take additional time out of their schedule to sit through traffic, find parking or sit in a waiting room.
Patients are able to receive care from the comfort of their own home, or on their breaks at work or school.
Dr. Auluck treats patients across the State of California. Having a singular or multiple office locations, would not be practical for patient care.
What if I reside out of the State of California?
How can I best prepare for my appointment?
Please do your best to fill out the intake forms as thoroughly as you can.
Some patients feel it's best to have a list of notes, questions or topics they would like to cover. This is optional and by no means required.
Dr. Auluck has worked with thousands of patients over the years. He addresses the common questions and concerns patients have.
Can I "bring" someone to the appointment with me?
Yes, of course! Feel free to bring a loved one, friend or furry to sit in with you.
It is your appointment, and you may ask for them to listen, contribute, or leave the appointment at any time.
Will insurance cover my visit?
Dr. Auluck strives to provide care above and beyond the current standard of treatment, that is personalized and accessible. He focuses 100% of his efforts on treating and improving the lives of his patients. Unfortunately, insurance companies generally do not recognize this level of care. They frequently put up hurdles and roadblocks in the way of treatment for well accepted conditions such as Adult ADHD.
Insurance can generally be utilized to cover prescription costs. A Superbill can be provided upon request for reimbursement of appointments. This typically applies to patients with a PPO or similar plan. Patients with Medicare or Medicaid are not eligible for Superbills.
How much will this cost? Do you have examples?
Initial Evaluation - $249
This appointment is scheduled for 40 minutes in duration. By leveraging technology and clinical scales, Dr. Auluck is able to significantly reduce the cost of a comprehensive evaluation by a Board Certified Psychiatrist. Additionally, this allows for the focus of the appointment to be on what matters most to you: understanding your concerns with your symptoms and potential treatments, receiving the best care and personalizing the treatment to you.
Elsewhere, the initial evaluation can run upwards of $400.
Follow Up - $149
This appointment is scheduled for 20 minutes in duration. Personalized clinical scales are selected to ensure patients are not wasting time answering questions that are not pertinent to their treatment. Initially, Follow Up appointments are about once every 30 days. Typically 2-4 follow up appointments are needed to review treatment progress, optimize dosing and demonstrate treatment plan stability. After your treatment plan is deemed to be stable (at least one month with out significant changes), the time between your appointments will increase up to a maximum of 1 year. More frequent visits are available if you would like.
Elsewhere, follow up appointments can run upwards of $250.
Controlled Prescription Refill Processing - $49
This only applies to prescriptions in between appointments for patients who are receiving controlled medications as part of their treatment plan. This fee reflects complying with the appropriate additional regulations and required time to process these refills.
Elsewhere, patients are only given prescription refills at follow up appointments.
For instance, Sophia has been on a stable treatment regimen and is now only requiring one appointment per year ($149). As part of that appointment, a 3 month (90 day) prescription would be sent to the pharmacy of Sophia's choice. The next three 90 day prescriptions would incur a processing fee of $49 each. Sophia's out of pocket cost for a year's worth of treatment would be $296 ($149 annual follow up appointment + 3 x $49 processing fee). This is intended to be affordable and accessible to patients of all walks of life. On average, this would be less than $25 a month.
