Most patients do not need a referral to schedule a psychiatric evaluation with Serenity Health Telepsychiatry. You can contact our office or request an appointment directly when you have concerns about your mental health or believe you may benefit from psychiatric care.
However, insurance requirements can vary. Some health insurance plans may require referrals, prior authorization, or other steps before certain mental health services are covered.
If you plan to use insurance, reviewing your individual behavioral health benefits can help you understand whether your plan has specific requirements. You can also contact Serenity Health Telepsychiatry if you have questions about getting started.
Not having an existing diagnosis or referral doesn’t mean you need to wait before reaching out. A psychiatric evaluation is often where the process of understanding your symptoms begins.
