What is Telepsychiatry
Telepsychiatry is the practice of psychiatry conducted via a video conference connection. A live, secure video connection is established between an offsite location (a clinic, doctor’s office or home office) and a mental health facility. A typical psychiatric office visit is conducted except that the physician and the patient are not in the same physical location.
STN Telepsychiatry is covered by major insurance providers
Each insurance company will have its own eligibility requirements and coverage policies. Please check with your insurance provider to explain the benefits and plan limitations.
Multiple services
Telemedicine currently provides an array of services, including but not limited to diagnosis and assessment; medication management; and individual and group therapy.
Medication managment
A wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. For those with mental health disorders, medication management is often an important part of the recovery process when used in an effective way as part of the overall treatment.
Psychotherapy
Our focus is on helping you heal and learn more constructive ways to deal with the problems or issues within your life. We offer individual and group psychotherapy.
How it works
What equipment is needed:
All that is needed for connection to our network is a Windows (XP SP2 or newer) or Mac (Intel based) system with Internet access, a webcam and a microphone. We recommend a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 for the video and a Phoenix Duet USB Speakerphone for the audio. We can test any webcam and/or microphone you may have to see if they would be appropriate for our solution.
Startup Cost
There is no start-up cost associated with using the telepsychiatry platform unless you need to purchase a webcam and microphone. On average, both can be purchased for less than a total of $200. In addition, there is no fee to use our platform.
Hippa Complaince
Yes, all communications are sent using 256-bit AES encryption. We take appropriate measures to comply with the all HIPAA privacy and security rules.
How can telepsychiatry benefit hospitals and mental health clinics?
Facilities in remote rural locations that have a difficult time recruiting can benefit from telepsychiatry. Telepsychiatry providers can be physically located anywhere in the United States, but as long as they have the appropriate licenses, they can see your patients. Another use for telepsychiatry is to fill a part-time position. If your facility has enough volume only for a half-time provider, you might have an easier time finding a telepsychiatry provider to fill that need than recruiting a psychiatrist to work on-site part-time. Telepsychiatry can be your backup for vacations, leaves, or after-hours on-call coverage.
