Yes. Lifetime Insight provides secure telepsychiatry appointments using HIPAA-compliant video platforms. This allows you to connect with your psychiatrist from anywhere within your licensed state.
Research shows that telepsychiatry is equally effective for most conditions, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more. Our psychiatrists use the same evidence-based approach whether you’re seen online or in person.
In the proper case, patients can be seen for integrative treatments which include traditional methods alongside psychotherapy. This is based on physician availability and individualized considerations.
Common areas include anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar spectrum disorders, stress-related issues such as PTSD, insomnia, traumatic brain injuries, and psychiatric needs within the peripartum period. Each treatment plan is individualized.
Our psychiatrists provide care for adults 18 and older.
Most new patients are scheduled within 1–2 weeks of completing their paperwork (this takes most patients about 20-30 min). Follow-ups are easy to book through our secure patient portal.
Lifetime Insight accepts many insurances such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and even partners with Lyra through your employer. We also offer a self-pay option for those who prefer to using insurance or for those who are uninsured.
We accept many types of insurance and will submit claims on your behalf if we are in network. Your responsibility would depend on your plan and if you have a deductible, a copay, or a coinsurance. If you prefer not to use insurance (there are many reasons for this), the first session is $475. Follow up visits are $225-$400 depending on the time spent. Please check our Financial Agreement posted on this site for more information.
That is very dependent on the severity of your condition. Most patients require more frequent visits initially with reduced frequency as they are medically optimized and the clinical condition improves.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) provides federal protection of patient health information. HIPAA permits the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (“PHI”) for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations (“TPO”). Treatment encompasses the care doctors provide patients (including the rest of the healthcare team such as your primary healthcare clinician). Payment includes billing and collection activities. Healthcare operations include all of our business activities, including teaching and training healthcare professionals. Exceptions are suspected child abuse or dependent adult/elder abuse. We are required to report these to the appropriate authorities.
If a patient is threatening serious bodily harm to another person, the police will be notified and confidentiality does not apply. If a patient intends on harming themselves, we first make every effort to work together and ensure safety, but if cooperation is not achieved and the patient is in grave danger, the proper authorities will be notified and confidentiality will not apply.
Your privacy and confidentiality are always protected to the full extent of the law.
All psychiatric visits are conducted via telehealth using a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform unless otherwise arranged. We highly suggest that you find a comfortable and private location in your home (or office) in advance of the visit. You cannot be seen if you are in a moving vehicle.
Yes, we have both early morning and evening appointments available if you cannot make it during another time of the day, however this depends on the time zone.
