Your Care, Your Way.
At North Country Behavioral Medicine, we are committed to removing barriers to quality care. Telepsychiatry—behavioral healthcare delivered via secure, interactive technology—allows you to meet with your psychiatric provider or therapist using a computer, tablet, or telephone.
Whether you have a busy schedule, live in a remote area, or have a condition that makes traveling to an office difficult, virtual visits offer a convenient, flexible solution to keep your mental health on track.
- Flexible Options to Connect: Your appointment can be conducted via a secure video platform, or over a standard telephone call. Most health insurance companies fully cover phone-only sessions if video is not an option or a preference for you.
- Comprehensive Virtual Care: Telehealth can be utilized for complete diagnostic evaluations, ongoing medication management, therapy sessions, and patient education.
- Proven Effectiveness: You receive the exact same dedicated, unhurried attention as an in-person visit. The American Psychiatric Association notes that telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care, and patient satisfaction.
- Strict Privacy: Your personal information remains completely protected. Our remote-care platforms are fully encrypted, meeting the exact same privacy and confidentiality standards as a traditional, in-office visit.
The vast majority of commercial health insurance providers, as well as Medicare, fully cover telemedicine and telepsychiatry visits. We recommend quickly verifying your specific plan's remote-care benefits with your insurance company prior to your first scheduled appointment.
