"For the highest level of expertise in TMS, New York City clinicians look to the guidance of Dr. MacMillan and Dr. Muir for their leadership in this innovative and important FDA-approved treatment. It is an excellent treatment option for those who need rapid, effective results without the ongoing use of medication. The duo has been instrumental in helping patients gain access to an extremely effective treatment for depression and OCD, and it's clinical indications continue to expand."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all sessions in-person or is telehealth available?

Telehealth is available, but you must check with your insurance to make sure there are no restrictions. There are clinical circumstances where an in-person appointment is preferred and we work with patients and families around these decisions. Please note that we are only able to conduct telehealth sessions in states where we are licensed.

How does communication work in between sessions?

At Elevate Wellness & Psychiatry, we recognize that most of life happens outside sessions and so are able to communicate via secure messaging or phone calls regarding urgent and logistical matters. We also recognize that accessing emergency services and psychiatric hospitalizations, while life-saving in some circumstances, can be life-destroying when turned to in a reflexive, knee-jerk fashion. That is why we prioritize being available when crises arise to work collaboratively around getting the help that is actually helpful.

Can I use my Insurance at Elevate Wellness & Psychiatry?

At this time, we accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Avera Health Plans, Sanford Health, and Dakotacare. If your insurance is not listed, we hope to in the future to be able to work in a more aligned way with all stakeholders. Meanwhile, we do provide “superbills” for out-of-network reimbursement for covered services if your plan has this benefit (e.g. a PPO plan) and are happy to provide guidance regarding plan selection. Our technology partner, Osmind, can also submit these superbills to insurance companies on your behalf if your prefer.

What forms of payment does the practice accept?

We accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, checks, cash, and wire transfers/ACH payments.

What can I expect at my first appointment?

The first appointment consists of a comprehensive history of medical and psychiatric history. A treatment plan will be established and may include medication or therapy recommendations. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled within two to four weeks to assess the progress of the treatment plan.
