Introduction
Telehealth psychiatry lets you meet with your provider by secure video from a private, comfortable space. It can reduce travel time, make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, and help you stay consistent with follow-up visits.
Overview
What Is Telehealth Psychiatry?
Telehealth psychiatry is mental healthcare delivered through a secure video platform. Many of the same services offered in person, such as psychiatric evaluations, medication management and follow-up visits, may be available by telehealth when clinically appropriate.
Telehealth availability depends on the service, provider, patient location, licensure, and applicable requirements.

Who it may help
Who This Service May Help
