TEXAS VIRTUAL TELEPSYCHIATRY APPOINTMENTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADHD, DEPRESSION, AND ANXIETY

Since 2017 our Texas office has offered telepsychiatry appointments. As such, we have perfected a virtual system that allows for detailed assessments and high quality care. We offer telepsychiatry for new and established patients for the treatment of ADHD, depression, and other psychiatric disorders. Morrison Clinic Psychiatry takes pride in bridging a gap in care for many Texans and making it easier to start psychiatric treatment and attend subsequent appointments.

Advantages to virtual psychiatric appointments include:

• No missed appointments to avoid catching Covid-19
• Less use of paid time off hours to attend psychiatric appointments.
• Continuity of care for patients who have to quarantine.
• Lack of transportation doesn’t impact appointment attendance.
• Texans living in an area with limited mental health providers are able to easily access top notch psychiatric care.
• Decreased out of pocket cost. Most major insurers cover telepsychiatry appointments at Morrison Clinic Psychiatry.

Morrison Clinic virtual appointments are simple and easy. Our 3 step process is a breeze. Make sure to start the steps 20 minutes prior to your telepsychiatry appointment. Use the three buttons below to ensure you complete each step.

WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR VIRTUAL TELEPSYCHIATRY APPOINTMENTS

1. First, your Pre-Call device check. This button takes you to a testing page to complete tests to ensure your device is optimized for your telepsychiatry appointment.

Verify your telepsychiatry appointment platform is working by checking your camera, microphone, and browser compatibility. It is important to verify you can connect to the server AND that your internet connection provides good or excellent video quality.  If your connection is poor or fair use an ethernet cable or try moving closer to your router.

2. Second, the Online Lobby Form.

Like the clipboard form you receive at your face to face appointments, this form gathers important medical information. You input your vital signs, medication side effects, symptoms,etc and submit it electronically.

3. Third, entering the Virtual Appointment Lobby. This button takes you to our virtual lobby. You will check in for your appointment and wait for your clinician to join your virtual telepsychiatry video call.
