We do virtual telepsychiatry appointments through our HIPAA compliant platforms Doximity and Zoom at the comfort of your home. In person visits are only available on Saturdays at my office conveniently located in Closter, NJ. I encourage patients to come for initial appointment in-person.
Please complete the intake forms and submit it to us by our Charm patient portal at least 48 hours before the visit. Completing the intake form ahead of time allows clients to save time and resources by collecting necessary diagnostic information ahead of time. Appointments will be cancelled and rescheduled if intake forms are not completed before the deadline.
We accept small number of insurance PPO plans through our partner Alma https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/hasnain-afzal including Aetna, Cigna and Optum including United, Oscar, Oxford. Alma will help with insurance eligibility check and copay estimate. You will receive an email from Alma with a secure link and within 1-2 days you will receive an email with your copay estimate.
For all other plans my practice is considered out-of-network. I can provide you with a receipt (super-bill) which may allow you to be reimbursed by your insurance. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance and find your out-of-network coverage. Please be advised that we cannot accept any Medicaid or Medicare patients either as in-network or out-of-network patients. Payment is due 48 hrs prior to the appointment and can be made by credit card. We currently partner with secure HIPAA complaint payment partner Ivy Pay.

Initially biweekly or monthly follow-ups with you to ensure the medication is taking effect and that we are managing any side effects in a timely manner. Once you are feeling well and are on a stable medication regimen, we can space out follow-ups to every 2 months for refills. I require that patients are seen at least every 2 months in order to remain active in my practice.
Please cancel any appointments within a 48-hour notice, otherwise you will be charged the full fee for no shows or late cancellations.

I primarily provide medication management but often incorporate therapeutic techniques like supportive psychotherapy, motivation enhancement, cognitive and behavioral skill building and psychodynamic principles into my medication management appointments. I can also refer you to one of the many excellent therapists I work with in the community.
