Telemedicine Q & A

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine, also known as telepsychiatry, provides healthcare services through virtual videoconferencing, so you can access medical care wherever you are.

a1 Family Psychiatry provides high-quality care for adults and children through a secure online platform that you can access on your tablet, smartphone, or computer.

Its skilled psychiatry team offers multiple services through a telemedicine platform, allowing you and your family access to medical care when you can’t travel to the office for a number of reasons, such as due to illness, busy schedules, or because of your mental health.

Telemedicine helps you stay on track with routine psychiatric care, even when you’re traveling or don’t have reliable transportation to the office.

Which services are available through telemedicine?

a1 Family Psychiatry provides the same compassionate, patient-focused care you receive in the office during telemedicine visits. Services include:

Mental health evaluations

The providers can screen for mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during a virtual telemedicine visit.

Based on the results of your screening, you may need to visit the office in person for additional testing or to discuss your options for treatment.

Medication management services

Medication management services, including prescription adjustments and refills, are offered through virtual telemedicine appointments.

You may receive referrals for blood work and other diagnostic testing to ensure the medicines you take are working well and aren’t causing unwanted side effects.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy sessions for individuals, couples, and families are available through the telemedicine platform.

What can I expect during my initial telemedicine appointment?

Before your first telemedicine appointment at a1 Family Psychiatry, the staff provides you with instructions for accessing the online platform at a pre-scheduled time. You need a reliable internet connection on your phone, computer, or tablet to connect to the platform.

At your appointment time, you log on to the system and connect directly with your provider to discuss any new symptoms you have or ask questions about your treatment plan. The team also conducts online therapy sessions just like they do in the office.

You can speak with your provider about medication refills or prescription changes during your telemedicine visit. They can also let you know when to schedule follow-up appointments for therapy or medication monitoring.
