What is the definition of telepsychiatry? Telepsychiatry is the delivery of psychiatric treatment using a secure, easy-to-use technology that is HIPAA-compliant. It’s the same as visiting a doctor in person; the only difference is that the clinician is connected through technology.
What are some of the advantages of telepsychiatry? We are able to give you with quicker access to a psychiatric physician and lower our patient wait times for appointments since we have chosen to employ telepsychiatry.
What may patients anticipate from their treatment? You will still need to visit our office for your appointment, just as you would for any other. The clinician will be waiting for you on the video screen in our telepsychiatry room. The idea is for you to feel as though they are physically there in the room with you, and you will see the same clinician at each visit.
The “medicare telehealth 2021 end date” is the last day that Medicare will offer tele-behavioral health services. Starting on May 13, 2022, METRO HEALTH WILL START TO OFFER TELE-BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES STARTING MAY 13, 2022.
