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).
