What is telepsychiatry?


Telepsychiatry, also referred to as teletherapy, is mental health care and related services provided from a distance using technology, as opposed to in-person. Often, video conferencing is done but phone conferencing can be done too. Services like psychiatric evaluations, various therapies, patient education, and medication management can be provided. Advanced Psych Care is able to provide many of these services via telepsychiatry.

There are lots of benefits of telepsychiatry, especially video-based telepsychiatry, like:

Quick access to mental health care and related services
Access to services that might not otherwise be easily available in your location
Care from the comfort of home
Easy patient follow-ups
No need to go anywhere or take time off from regular activities
A reduced barrier of stigma
Often, less expensive services

It may seem strange to talk with a professional over the internet or phone, but it’s easy and very convenient, so you’ll probably become accustomed to it!

Can telepsychiatry prescribe medication?


Yes, medication can be prescribed in many cases via telepsychiatry. We can help with this here at Advanced Psych Care. Our clinic’s psychiatric nurse practitioner, Norrine McNelley PMHNP-BC, is board-certified to help you with:

Prescriptions
Medication-assisted treatment with SUBOXONE/Buprenorphine, Vivitrol, or other drugs
Medication management
A referral to see another professional like a therapist for the treatment of depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition
And more

Many of the services above can be provided via telepsychiatry. Telepsychiatry makes it very easy to access mental health and related services. What makes it even easier is that our clinic is a private clinic which means we may be easily accessible to you and able to provide services with minimal wait times, as opposed to public clinics.

Does Medicaid pay for teletherapy?


Often, teletherapy services are less expensive than in-person services. Medicaid may cover certain services offered via teletherapy. Also, our clinic accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance and is in the process of accepting more insurances. We also accept private payments and can see you even if you don’t have insurance. We’re sure you’ll find our services affordable, and they may be more accessible to you than public/government services. Connect with our clinic today to learn more about this topic!
