Psychiatry & Medication Referrals

Finding a psychiatric provider can take time. The options below are often used to locate medication evaluation and management services. Inclusion here does not imply endorsement.

Telepsychiatry Platforms

• Talkiatry — an insurance-based telepsychiatry service providing psychiatric evaluation and medication management via telehealth in Pennsylvania

• Headway — an integrated platform for finding and accessing a range of in-network therapists, psychiatrists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners in Pennsylvania

Online Directories

• Psychiatrist Finder — the official directory of the American Psychiatric Association, allowing you to locate board-certified psychiatrists by location and specialty, and indicating whether they accept insurance and offer telehealth services

• Psychology Today — an online directory for locating psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other mental health professionals by location, specialty, and stated treatment approach

Insurance Plan Resources

Many insurance companies maintain their own provider directories, which are often the most reliable source for confirming in-network psychiatric prescribers.

Checking your insurer’s online portal or calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card can help confirm:

• Current in-network status

• Whether a provider is accepting new patients

• Telehealth vs. in-person options

• Expected out-of-pocket costs

Primary Care

Many primary care physicians are willing to prescribe and manage common psychiatric medications once a diagnosis is established, particularly for depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

What to Expect

• Wait times of several weeks are common for initial appointments with psychiatric prescribers

• Psychiatric nurse practitioners may have more availability than MD/DO psychiatrists

• Appointments with psychiatric prescribers are typically brief and medication-focused

• Coordination with psychiatric prescribers may occur as needed; a release of information helps clarify consent, scope, and expectations for ongoing collaboration
