Let's Talk from (almost) Anywhere

TeleHealth Video Appointments

Picture
Tele-psychiatry (Telehealth) is psychiatric care provided over the internet in a live format similar to FaceTime or Skype, though with a platform designed for healthcare. Tele-psychiatry gives you access to psychiatric care on your phone or computer from where ever you are comfortable.  For people with busy lives, long commutes, or who live in places with limited access to psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners, tele-psychiatry is ideal. 

I can see people physically located in California or Arizona over tele-psychiatry. Fees are the same for tele-psychiatry as for in-person visits and may be covered by insurance, but is not covered by Medicare. Not all insurance plans cover tele-psychiatry and many have specific rules about which provider you can see using tele-psychiatry, as always, check with your insurance plan first to confirm coverage. 

Call (408) 767-2337 or email info@gilroymentalhealth.com for more information.
