Getting Started

Treatment Process

Dr. Rosenthal begins treatment with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to identify risk factors, core issues, and maintenance characteristics of the presenting problem(s). This might involve several sessions of gathering information and assessment before prescribing a customized treatment plan. When treating minors, Dr. Rosenthal will ask to meet with the parents or legal guardians before or after meeting with the identified child or adolescent patient.

Once the problem(s) have been clearly identified, Dr. Rosenthal will outline his recommendations and begin treatment. When working with minors, Dr. Rosenthal will almost always ask to meet with the patient’s parents on a regular basis to provide updates and coordinate treatment. Depending on the severity, intensity, and duration of the presenting problem(s), Dr. Rosenthal meets with his patients either weekly or twice-weekly.

Payment & Insurance

Payment is due in full at the time of session in the form of cash or check, except for group therapy which is billed monthly. Patients can also pre-pay for sessions by credit card via the “Make Payment” link on the top right of this website. Dr. Rosenthal is out-of-network with insurance.

After formulating a diagnosis, he can provide a monthly billing statement/receipt for patients to submit to their insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. After the deductible has been met, most insurance plans reimburse 60%-80% of the allowable amount for out-of-network mental health benefits. CPT codes to inquire about are: 90801, 90804, 90806, 90846, 90847, and 90853.

Cancellation Policy

When initiating treatment, Dr. Rosenthal is reserving a special time for patients each week. Except for emergencies, Dr. Rosenthal requests 48 hours advanced notice to cancel or reschedule sessions or the patient will be responsible for the full session fee.

Confidentiality

Dr. Rosenthal maintains strict confidentiality with all his patients. If there is a need to discuss patient information with other professionals, Dr. Rosenthal will request written consent from the patient or his/her legal guardians. Dr. Rosenthal will only break confidentiality in instances when the patient is a danger to themselves or others or when Dr. Rosenthal suspects that the patient is being abused.

Emergencies

In the event of an emergency, patients should call 911 and/or go to their nearest emergency room. Patients should not call Dr. Rosenthal on his office or cell phone regarding an emergency as he does not provide 24 hour patient coverage.
