Psychiatric Telehealth Across Washington State
Frequently Asked Questions

Solidarity Mental Health, PLLC is a direct-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. Many patients choose direct-pay care because it allows for longer appointments, greater diagnostic precision, and more individualized treatment planning without the restrictions often required by insurance companies.​ Upon request, we provide a detailed superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

This evaluation includes an in-depth review of psychiatric history, medical contributors, executive functioning patterns, and lifestyle factors to ensure accuracy and thoughtful treatment recommendations.

As a direct-pay practice, appointments are intentionally structured to allow for:
