Services
Initial Evaluation and Diagnosis
We see patients from 4 years of age to young adulthood for ADHD, behavioral problems and academic difficulties, anxiety, depression, uncomplicated eating disorders, and OCD. In person and virtual appointments are available. In person appointments are strongly encouraged for the new patients and for young children. The initial evaluation is typically divided in 2 separate visits.
Collaboration with Other Professionals
Input from physicians, teachers, therapists, and neuropsychologists can be an essential part of both the initial evaluation and ongoing patient management. We collaborate closely with other professionals by reviewing their reports and making the time for conversations.
Ongoing Medication Management
It takes a few weeks to arrive at an appropriate medication regimen, during which time more frequent visits are necessary. Once the regimen is found, a follow up visit every 3 months is required for ongoing care and prescription management. If a new concern arises that cannot be addressed in a quick email exchange, an additional visit will be required.
Laboratory Testing
Certain medical conditions can mimic, exacerbate and contribute to mental illness. Lab work will be ordered when indicated. Quest or Labcorp facilities are in-network with major insurance plans, and the testing can be done at either of those laboratories.
Paying for Services
Our practice is not in network with any insurance plans, as insurance plans do not adequately reimburse for the clinician’s time needed to deliver high quality care.
It is the family’s responsibility to learn about their out-of-network benefits and to submit all the paperwork. The practice can only provide a superbill containing the diagnostic and procedure codes (ICD-10 and CPT), and cannot be involved in the process otherwise. If receiving the out-of-network reimbursement is essential for the family, it is advised that the family reach out to their insurance company prior to the visit to confirm the rules of coverage, including the accepted diagnosis and procedure codes.
The CPT codes used by the practice are 90792 (Initial visit) and a combination of 99213, 99214, 99215, 90833, 90836 90834 and 90837 (follow up visits).
The fees for services are time-based. Both face-to-face time spent with the patient, and non face-to-face time spent on communication about the patient, review of relevant data etc. are counted as billable time.

“Dr. Aronov’s attentiveness and presence with our daughter was helpful in an early diagnosis and thus an early intervention to access services to support her in school. We are so grateful for her eagle eyes and supportive heart!”
