Central Jersey Mental Health
Psychiatric and behavioral health disorders range from potentially life-threatening, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe depression, to lesser debilitating conditions, such as anxiety and mild mood disorders. Those conditions also take a toll not only on sufferers themselves, but also on families and caregivers.
At Central Jersey Mental Health, we are prepared to diagnose and treat the various types of mental illness, such as depression, dementia, bipolar disorder, PTSD and anxiety disorders, among other psychiatric illnesses and disorders.
Dr. Hitendra Patel
We are not accepting any insurance at this time.
As a psychiatrist, my foremost commitment is to providing the highest quality of care to my patients. In order to ensure that each individual receives the time and attention they deserve, I have chosen not to accept any insurance at this time. This decision allows me to:
Dedicate longer visits to each patient encounter.
Thoroughly address patient and family’s concerns without being rushed.
Focus on individual care and comprehensive treatment planning.
Maintain availability for urgent needs and timely follow-up care.
Although I am not accepting health insurance at my practice, all medical services provided remain billable through insurance. For each visit, my office will continue to generate detailed invoices (including CPT and ICD-10 coding) to support claim submissions. Patients may submit these invoices to their insurance company for reimbursement, consistent with their plan benefits.
My goal is to uphold a patient-centered approach that prioritizes quality over volume, ensuring every patient receives personalized, attentive care.
