What the $100/month practice fee covers
The monthly practice fee supports physician-led telehealth buprenorphine care, secure-video evaluations, structured remote follow-up, and continuity coordination when care is clinically appropriate. The fee is for practice services, not medication dispensed by a pharmacy.
What the $500 enrollment deposit means
The $500 enrollment deposit is required to start physician review. It is non-refundable, is not applied to future monthly fees, and does not guarantee treatment acceptance, a prescription, or any specific outcome.
What medication cost means
Medication cost is handled separately through the dispensing pharmacy. The amount a pharmacy charges may depend on the medication, formulation, stock, discount programs, and whether separate pharmacy benefits apply.
Whether insurance is billed
SuboxoneNYC is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurance for practice fees. Patients may still ask their pharmacy whether separate pharmacy benefits, coupons, or discount programs apply to medication cost.
Whether a prescription is guaranteed
No. A prescription is never guaranteed. A physician must evaluate whether buprenorphine care is clinically appropriate and legally permitted, and pharmacy requirements still apply.
What happens if treatment is not clinically appropriate
If a physician determines that SuboxoneNYC is not clinically appropriate, the practice cannot guarantee an alternative placement or medication. The safest next step may be emergency care, a higher level of care, coordination with an existing clinician, or referral resources depending on the situation.
