When telehealth may be appropriate

Online depression care may be a fit for adults who want evaluation, follow-up, or medication review. Some patients may need in-person evaluation, urgent assessment, or higher-level care.

When to seek urgent or in-person care instead

Seek urgent or emergency care right away if you have:
  • Thoughts of harming yourself or others
  • Unable to stay safe
  • Severe symptoms that need immediate attention
  • Any mental health emergency

Telehealth is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or for mental health crises call or text 988.

What treatment may include

Treatment may include evaluation, follow-up visits, therapy recommendations, and medication management when appropriate. Medication is never automatic.

Pricing

We accept Medicare directly for psychiatry visits and commercial insurance through Headway. Medicare patients book in the patient portal; Headway verifies commercial-plan eligibility and copay before the appointment. Book via Headway (commercial insurance) or our portal (Medicare).
