Florida telehealth
Virtual Psychiatry Throughout Florida
Telehealth may make psychiatric evaluation and follow-up more accessible for eligible patients located in Florida. The appropriate visit format depends on clinical needs, safety, technology, and applicable requirements.
A careful starting point
How this method fits into psychiatric care
Virtual psychiatric care uses a secure video visit to discuss symptoms, history, medications, functioning, goals, and next steps. Some concerns are appropriate for telehealth, while others require in-person evaluation or a higher level of care.
Questions worth asking
When patients may ask about this option
- You are located in Florida and want to ask about a virtual visit.
- Travel, mobility, work, caregiving, or other circumstances make office visits difficult.
- You need psychiatric follow-up and telehealth is clinically appropriate.
Your care pathway
From evaluation to follow-up
Confirm eligibility
The office confirms that you are located in Florida, identifies the type of visit requested, and reviews scheduling and insurance questions.
Prepare for the visit
Use a private, stable location with reliable internet and have your medication list and questions available.
Know when in-person care is needed
A clinician may recommend an office visit, another clinician, or urgent evaluation when telehealth is not the safest or most appropriate setting.
Important details
Make an informed decision
Telehealth is not an emergency service. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for an immediate safety concern; call or text 988 for emotional distress or suicidal crisis.
