The Akasha Center

Fees

Fees

 
Our new patient medical fees range from $650 to $1,900, depending on the practitioner and the length of the visit, which can last 1 to 2 hours. Follow-up visits range from $375 to $950. As an out-of-network provider, Akasha requires payment on the day of service. We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and personal checks. In the event of insufficient funds, a fee of $45 will be issued. For detailed practitioner fees, including TCM, PT, nutrition, craniosacral, etc, please contact us at info@akashacenter.com.
 

Insurance

Our low-volume office allows us to offer tailored personal medical care lasting 1 to 2 hours. However, this limits our ability to work within the constraints of most insurance contractual requirements. Therefore, our practitioners work as “out-of-network” providers. After payment to our office, bills can be submitted to PPO insurance plans as “out-of-network,” with reimbursement varying according to each plan. Due to lengthy insurance processes, we do not contact insurance companies on behalf of our patients. Please contact your insurance company for coverage information. Note that HMO insurance usually does not provide out-of-network benefits. We are not Medicare providers.

 

Insurance Claims/Reimbursements

The Akasha Center provides professional medical insurance billing services. For a $25 fee, our billing specialists will send your claim directly to your insurance company and try to maximize your out-of-network reimbursement. If you have any more questions, please get in touch with Akasha at 310-451-8880 or email us at info@akashacenter.com.
 

Appointment Cancellation Fee

Because we do not double-book patients and reserve the time specifically for you, we require a 48-hour advance notice for appointment cancellations and rescheduling. Failure to provide this notice will result in a charge equivalent to the full price of the missed visit.

A Better Way to Get Better.

Jamie Lee Curtis

” I have gone through much of my life, not paying attention to my body and only responding to it when it’s in a crisis. As I’ve aged, I have needed to pay attention to the long game and Dr. de Mello has been my partner in that exploration. He has taught me that numbers don’t lie and his extensive testing has helped me see patterns and trends that I never wanted to look at. His focus and care has given me the confidence to know that I can, as we say in recovery “change the things I can.”

Jamie Lee Curtis, Actress

“I’ve been going to the Akasha Center for four months and together we’ve been working to create a better, healthier lifestyle that works for my hectic schedule. By sticking to a strict diet and exercise plan, as well as natural remedies and herbal supplements, I’ve lost over 40 pounds. Through hard work and commitment to making this life change, I now have more energy and feel better than ever.”

Lee Daniels, Director

“After Dr. De Mello, I found the balance and health I needed. He had a loving approach to understanding my own body. The strength and readiness I feel is due to Dr. de Mello’s treatment.
Thanks Dr. D Mello!”

Alice Braga, Actress

Dylan McDermott

“I have known Dr. Edison De Mello for many years now. He has proven himself to be an outstanding doctor. His knowledge of integrative medicine is second to none. I was loking for an M.D. who understood both western and eastern medicine and I found it.”

Dylan Mcdermott, Actor
