What insurances to you accept?

Dale R. Richards, DO is part of the OhioHealth Group's Clinically Integrated Network which has contracts with Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Medical Mutual of Ohio, and OhioHealthy.

Unfortunately, they are not contracted with Anthem or United Healthcare/UBH/Optum and the practice does not accept medicaid, and managed medicaid (Buckeye, etc.), or medicare.

What if I don't have one of the insurances you accept?

You can be given a superbill (if requested) to be submitted to your plan for possible reimbursement, depending upon your plan and out-of-network benefits you are allowed. (Please review your particular plan and your allowances). Keep in mind that the companies usually will only reimburse at a lower rate (out-of-network rate) that is also calculated based upon their own determination of a "usual and customary fee."

What are you fees if I don't have one of the insurances you accept?

The fee for the initial consultation (two appointments--see below) is $250 per meeting. Follow up appointments are $175. Estimating the cost of treatment will depend upon the condition(s) and the treatment plan developed, but generally appointments for follow up will be every four weeks until things stabilize. When that occurs also depends upon individual factors.

What does the consultation involve?

There will be an initial meeting with a parent/guardian without the child, and then a second meeting will be including the child. If after the assessment a decision is made to pursue treatment with the practice, we will schedule a follow up appointment that is typically 2 to 4 weeks out from there. The initial meetings are 90 minutes (includes documentation) and the follow up meetings are 30 minutes (including documentation).
