About Insurance and Superbills

We do not bill insurance directly. However, we provide detailed superbills with ICD-10 diagnostic codes and CPT procedure codes that many patients successfully submit for out-of-network reimbursement under their PPO plans. At $125 USD for a comprehensive 60-minute first visit, our fees are often less than U.S. specialist copays — and there is no months-long wait.

For California Patients

Cross-border psychiatric care · 15 minutes south

Thousands of San Diego, Chula Vista, and Los Angeles patients cross the border for high-quality, affordable psychiatric care. Our office at New City Medical Plaza is just 15 minutes from San Ysidro — no months-long wait, no insurance gatekeeping, and a fraction of U.S. costs.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about scheduling, payment, telepsychiatry, and what to expect from our services.

01

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

No. You can contact us directly via WhatsApp, phone, or email. No referral or prior authorization is needed. Most new patients are scheduled within 3 to 5 business days.
02

How long is the wait to get an appointment?

Most new patients are seen within 3 to 5 business days. Compare this to the typical 2-to-6-month wait for psychiatrists in San Diego and California. For urgent situations, please mention it when you contact us so we can prioritize.
03

Can I do my first appointment via telepsychiatry?

The first evaluation is always in person at our Tijuana office. This allows for the most thorough and accurate assessment. Follow-up appointments may be conducted via telepsychiatry (Google Meet) for established patients when clinically appropriate and where legally permitted.
04

Do you accept U.S. health insurance?

We do not bill insurance directly. However, at $125 USD for a comprehensive first visit, our fees are often less than insurance copays for U.S. specialists. We provide detailed superbills with ICD-10 diagnostic codes and CPT procedure codes that many patients submit for out-of-network reimbursement under PPO plans.
05

What languages do you speak?

All consultations and written materials are available in both English and Spanish at no extra cost. Dr. Cedillo is fully bilingual.
06

How are prescriptions handled for U.S. patients?

Prescriptions are written in clear English with international medication names so they are easy to identify at customs and at U.S. pharmacies. U.S. Customs generally allows up to a 90-day supply of prescription medications across the border with a written prescription. Many psychiatric medications cost significantly less at Mexican pharmacies.
About the Doctor

Dr. Ernesto Cedillo Ramirez, board-certified psychiatrist in Tijuana
Board-Certified Psychiatrist
Dr. Ernesto Cedillo Ramirez
UNAM-Trained · Hospital Fray Bernardino Álvarez

My practice is built around a simple idea: psychiatric care should be thorough, honest, and accessible. After my residency at one of Latin America's leading psychiatric institutions, I established this private practice in Tijuana specifically to serve patients who need quality care without the barriers of long waits, high costs, and rushed appointments. Whether you live in Tijuana or San Diego, you deserve a psychiatrist who listens, explains, and partners with you for the long term.
