Telehealth Q & A

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a way to connect with the psychiatric team at Adelpha Psychiatric Group from the comfort of your home using advanced, secure video conference technology.

The virtual telehealth platform allows you to speak with your provider one-on-one from your smartphone, tablet, or computer, no matter where you are in California. You can also meet with the psychiatric team for guidance during a medical emergency.

Flexible scheduling is available for telehealth appointments. The staff provides all the information you need to connect online before your prescheduled virtual visit.

When can I schedule a telehealth appointment?

Adelpha Psychiatric Group offers telehealth appointments for various reasons that don’t require an in-office visit, including:

  • Psychiatric evaluations
  • Routine checkups
  • Medication management
  • Psychotherapy (talk therapy)

You can also meet with the team virtually if you develop new symptoms, have questions about your health, or need to adjust your treatment plan. Your provider assesses your situation during a virtual visit and determines if you need to visit the office.

Telehealth services are also available for psychiatric emergencies in the event you need hospitalization.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Telehealth offers many benefits for those who need ongoing psychiatric care. The virtual platform allows you to get the medical attention you need without having to travel to the office for every visit.

Online consultations are especially helpful for those who lack reliable transportation and have to miss routine appointments. Virtual visits also offer convenience for disabled people and those too sick to leave home.

You can save time and the expense of travel using telehealth technology. Virtual visits ensure that you can keep up with routine medical appointments, even with a busy schedule or when traveling away from home in California.

Online access also allows you to connect with the experienced medical team if your area has limited access to psychiatric care. You can access high-quality counseling and medication management services to support your mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs.
