What to Know Before a Telehealth Psychiatry Appointment

Technical and Clinical Considerations

Telehealth psychiatry can be affected by technical issues or limitations in assessing physical symptoms. Review our Telehealth Consent Form and discuss with our team whether virtual care is appropriate for your needs.

When In-Person Care May Be Necessary

Patients with recent psychiatric hospitalizations, psychosis, or active safety concerns typically require in-person care. We recommend finding a local provider who can offer face-to-face visits and hospital coordination when needed.

Are you accepting new patients, and is there a waiting list?

Do you accept insurance?

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a fee-for-service (out-of-network) psychiatric practice and does not accept insurance directly.  Many patients are surprised to find out that they may be able to submit our receipts to their insurance company, for partial reimbursement of our services. We recommend that patients call their insurance company and ask if they have “out-of-network” behavioral health reimbursement. Our receipts are automatically generated for patients, and our scheduling assistants can answer additional questions. After reimbursement, visit costs for our services may be similar to a co-pay cost for using in-network providers.
