No surprises about what your visit costs.

We do not list fees online. Call or email and the office will tell you the fee for your visit and your payment options. Your visit fee is confirmed before you are charged. Payment is collected securely online before your visit.

Your time with Dr. Ntranos: your history, a neurological examination, a review of your records and test results, prescriptions, test orders and referrals, coordination with your other doctors, messages between visits, and a superbill for your insurer. The tests and medications themselves are billed separately, usually through your insurance.

We are an out-of-network, fee-for-service practice. You pay for the visit directly and receive a detailed superbill to submit to your insurer. Most PPO plans reimburse 50–80%, depending on out-of-network benefits and deductible. HSA and FSA funds can typically be used. Staying outside insurance networks is what makes prolonged visits and, usually, same or next-day access possible.

We are out-of-network for all commercial plans, including Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Cigna. However, your insurance may still cover any required treatment and testing, such as medications, MRIs, and blood tests. Regarding the visit, you would pay beforehand and then submit our superbill for reimbursement; most PPO plans reimburse 50–80%, depending on out-of-network benefits and deductible. HMO plans generally do not reimburse out-of-network visits.

Dr. Ntranos is a non-participating provider for original Medicare, which means you pay at the visit and Medicare, or your secondary insurance if you have one, pays its share back to you. We file the claim for you, and the fee never exceeds Medicare's limiting charge, the most a non-participating doctor may bill. Medicare Advantage plans are not accepted.

Insurance-based neurology runs on rushed visits and months-long waitlists. Practicing outside those networks lets Dr. Ntranos spend a full hour with each new patient, see patients usually the same or next day, and answer your messages himself between visits. And there is no membership; you pay per visit. Concierge neurology is not about exclusivity. It is about time.
