During the initial interview we will review your mental health and medical history as well as current symptoms. We will then collaboratively work on a plan to best approach your current challenges. This may include recommendations for medication, laboratory studies, lifestyle and behavioral changes, and psychotherapy. We may discuss potential psychiatric diagnosis if appropriate.

You will receive an email with forms to be filled out, signed and submitted electronically prior to our first meeting including an intake form, consent to treat, privacy practices and others.

If you are in-network with insurance you will also receive an email from my insurance processor Headway to enter your plan details.

Condon Psychiatry is currently in-network with Cigna, Aetna, United, Oxford & Oscar Health.

It will vary based on insurance plan.

Self pay rates are $300 for initial evaluation and $150 for subsequent follow up appointments.

For every out of network visit we provide a superbill that you can submit for reimbursement from your insurance company. Many patients use the service Reimbursify to simplify this process.

Medication refill request in-between visits should be submitted through the patient portal.

If you need a refill, contact Condon Psychiatry at least 2 business days in advance - do NOT assume we received a pharmacy request, as these automated faxes/messages are often lost.

From Tamanna Rahman APRN: “Psychiatric nurse practitioners are registered nurses who have completed advanced-level graduate training. This is why they are also known as psychiatric APRNs, or “advanced practice registered nurses.” In practice, psych APRNs and psychiatrists provide many of the same services, such as conducting psychiatric evaluations, completing physical exams, diagnosing mental health conditions, ordering lab work or imaging, prescribing medications, or providing therapy.

Differences between APRNs and psychiatrists include training and approach to care. APRNs and psychiatrists both complete Bachelor’s degrees in a related field, advanced professional degrees (MSN or doctoral degree for APRNs; MDs for psychiatrists), and thousands of hours of clinical training. In addition, MDs complete residencies and may go on to specialized fellowships. In the state of CT, APRNs are fully independent practitioners after completing training and must maintain board certification in their specialty by completing extensive continuing education and clinical practice.

Just as there are many different types of therapists, including marriage and family therapists (MFTs), license professional counselors (LPCs), social workers (LCSWs) or psychologists (Ph.D. or Psy.D), who all bring different approaches to their work, APRNs and MDs have different frameworks for providing care, and every individual provider is different. APRN training is rooted in the nursing model of care, which is focused on being patient-centered, holistic, strengths-based, and collaborative.“
