More and more doctors are going into private practice - that it, they are not signed with any insurance companies as providers. This does not mean anything regarding the quality of care. It means that the doctor does not want to have his treatment options and fees dictated by an insurer. PPO plans as mentioned above usually allow for "out of network" doctors. I have one doctor who, althought she's not on any insurance plan, prints out the claim forms for her patients as a courtesy. I get reimbursed (albeit, as a reduced rate) by the PPO.

The frequency of visits/treatment followups would be a concern for me, though. I would check to see if the once a month visits are after you're stabilized on meds.

I would also Google the p-doc to see if there's any other information out there on him.

Best of luck
