SERVICES & PAYMENT
David A.N. Siegel, MD
Confidential & Discreet
This page covers the practical details of how my practice works — where sessions are held, how insurance and prescriptions are handled, and how to get started. If something isn’t answered here, the first phone call is the right place to ask. It’s free, completely confidential, and carries no obligation.
Format of Care
I see patients in person at my office at 23 West 73rd Street, Suite 101, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and by video. Both formats are available on an ongoing basis.
I am available by phone for emergencies around the clock. When medically necessary, initial stabilization can be managed entirely by phone and video, allowing most patients to continue working throughout.
Insurance
I do not accept insurance directly. I am an out-of-network provider. Patients who have out-of-network mental health and substance use benefits may be eligible for partial reimbursement from their insurance carrier — I can provide documentation to support that process.
I am not a Medicare provider. Fees are not reimbursable by Medicare.
Prescriptions
Prescriptions are written as part of ongoing treatment. I prescribe FDA-approved medications for the management of withdrawal, stabilization, and long-term taper. I do not prescribe controlled substances outside of an established treatment relationship.
Confidentiality
This practice is structured to protect privacy at every level. There are no office staff, no waiting rooms, no shared administrative systems. Records are maintained privately and are not disclosed to third parties except as required by law.
The one situation that involves disclosure is of the patient’s choosing. Submitting a claim to a private insurance carrier requires providing documentation that includes a diagnosis code. Patients who prefer that nothing leave this office can simply choose not to file a claim — and nothing will.
Getting Started
The first step is a phone call. That conversation is free, completely confidential, and carries no obligation. If it seems like a good fit, we can schedule a first appointment from there.
