Making care more accessible

A sliding scale.
A conversation.

At one point in my life as a young adult, I dealt with some pretty heavy depression and anxiety, along with ADHD. I didn’t have health insurance and wouldn’t have been able to afford care if it wasn’t for a provider who had a sliding scale. A sliding scale gave me access to treatment I needed, and that treatment helped me build the life I have now. Because of that experience, I offer 20 reduced-fee spots in my practice for people who would find the full self-pay rate too difficult to manage.

Let’s talk about your circumstances, household resources, and what you would be able to afford. We’ll agree on a fee that will give you access to the care you need. Let’s start the conversation: email me at JMPankoNP@thoughtscapeNP.com with the subject “Sliding Scale,” and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible to discuss next steps.

Before booking

A few practical details.

Are ADHD assessment and medication visits priced differently?

Services are covered by participating insurances, but you can also choose self-pay if that fits your circumstances better. The 60-minute psychiatric evaluation is $300 for self-pay, including appointments focused on initial adult ADHD assessment. Medication-management follow-ups are $175 for 20 minutes for self-pay. An assessment may require more than one appointment; any additional visits are discussed with you before booking.

Can I start with the free consultation?

Yes, please do. The free 15-minute conversation is a chance to ask about services and fit. It does not include diagnosis or prescribing.

What if I plan to use insurance?

Review the insurance page and confirm your specific benefits before booking. Self-pay prices are separate from the amount due under an insurance plan.
