Resources Worth Reading
Plain explanations of how psychiatric care works, what things cost, and where to go when we are not the right fit.
Working Out Whether to Book
Cost and Coverage
What Psychiatric Care Costs
Every self-pay rate published, plus how possible out-of-network reimbursement works.
Insurance Explained
Copay, deductible, coinsurance and out of network, in plain terms, and how we verify your plan.
Good Faith Estimate
Your right to know what care will cost before it happens, under the No Surprises Act.
What Happens at an Appointment
The First Evaluation
A conversation, and what to bring. Not a test, and there is no wrong way to describe what has been going on.
Ongoing Medication Management
What happens after the prescription, which is where most of the work actually is.
If We Are Not the Right Fit
We do not provide therapy, psychological testing or inpatient care. We treat alcohol use disorder, and we refer opioid and other drug use disorders to specialist programs.
Ridge Way is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For a mental health or suicide crisis, call or text 988, any time, or call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 1-800-715-4225.
When Reading Isn’t Enough
Information helps, but it can’t ask you a follow-up question. If something here sounds like you, an appointment is the next step. Book an evaluation in Sugar Hill or by telehealth anywhere in Georgia.
