INSURANCE & FEES

Dr. Mona Chiniwala is an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans and does not participate in any insurance networks. Patients are responsible for payment at the time of their visit.


If you have out-of-network benefits with your insurance plan, Dr. Chiniwala’s office is happy to provide you with a superbill after your appointment. You are able to submit this documentation to your insurance company for  reimbursement. Please note, the actual amount of reimbursement is determined by the contract between your employer and the  insurance company.


Important Note: Park Slope Integrative Medicine PLLC is not enrolled in Medicare and does NOT accept patients who are enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid, regardless of willingness to pay out-of-pocket. For more details, see the FAQ section below.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Are you in-network with any insurance?

A: No. Dr. Chiniwala is out-of-network for ALL insurance plans.

Q: Will I get a superbill to submit to my insurance?

A: Yes. If you have out-of-network benefits, the office will provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Your insurance company will determine whether, and how much, you may be reimbursed.

Q: Do you accept Medicare or Medicaid patients?

A: No. Dr. Chiniwala’s practice does not accept Medicare or Medicaid patients for any services.

Q: Why does Dr. Chiniwala not accept Medicare at Park Slope Integrative Medicine PLLC?

A. Dr. Chiniwala has not enrolled her practice (Park Slope Integrative Medicine PLLC) with Medicare. This decision to not enroll my practice  in Medicare is due to lower reimbursement rates, the administrative burden associated with billing and compliance, and the time required for authorizations and documentation. 

Q: Can I still come in even if I’m enrolled in Medicare and am willing to pay out-of-pocket?

A: No. It is not legally permitted to accept out-of-pocket payments from Medicare beneficiaries unless a provider has formally opted out of Medicare, an action Dr. Chiniwala has not taken as of yet.


As a result, Dr. Chiniwala is unable to see patients covered by Medicare, even if they wish to pay privately. While her practice continues to grow, she is currently unable to accommodate Medicare patients under these federal rules.

Q: What are the fees?

A: Initial 60 min appointment is $450.00. Subsequent follow up appointment 45min is $325.00.

Q: Will my laboratory tests be covered by my insurance?

A: Laboratory tests ordered via Quest and LabCorp are covered by your insurance. Any specialized laboratory tests from Genova Diagnostics or Dutch have to be paid upfront. The invoices can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. Your insurance company will determine whether, and how much, you may be reimbursed.
