When telehealth may be appropriate

Telehealth medication management may be appropriate for adults seeking outpatient psychiatric care. It is not for emergencies, active crisis, or higher-acuity care.

When to seek urgent or in-person care instead

Seek urgent or emergency care right away if you have:
  • Thoughts of suicide with intent or plan
  • Thoughts of harming someone else
  • Severe confusion or disorientation
  • Severe medication reaction
  • Any psychiatric or medical 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

Care typically includes evaluation, individualized treatment planning, prescribing when clinically appropriate, monitoring, and follow-up. Medication is not automatic. Controlled substances may have added requirements.

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).
