Online mental health medications available now

The cost of an online medical consultation will vary depending on the telehealth platform and your insurance status. We accept patients with or without insurance. Most patients with in-network insurance pay $30 or less to speak with one of our physicians. For self-pay patients, a mental health medication consultation costs $129. This is less than the typical cost at an in-person clinic.

Medication does not cure mental illness, however, it can be helpful in making symptoms more manageable. The goal of medication is to reduce your symptoms to a point where they do not severely impact your daily life and to help you return to a functioning level.

No, online therapists cannot prescribe medication. However, our online therapists can refer you to consult one of our online prescribing doctors for a mental health medication consultation within the same platform, to get on medications or refill existing mental health medications.

Please note, our doctors are unable to prescribe controlled substances or scheduled medications.

Therapy and medication are both effective in treating mental health concerns, but are most effective when used in combination. If therapy alone is not working for you, it may be helpful to explore mental health medication options in conjunction with your therapy treatment services. Medication can help therapy treatment be even more effective for you.

It can take up to 4 to 8 weeks for mental health medication to fully take effect. If by this time, you have seen little mood improvement or symptoms have become unbearable, speak to your doctor about other medication options.

Some psychiatric medications that doctors commonly prescribe include antidepressant medications, antipsychotic medications, and mood stabilizers. Commonly prescribed antidepressants to treat anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental disorders include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).

You can get mental health medicine by speaking with a board-certified doctor. Our doctors can prescribe mental health medicine online after an initial evaluation. Book an appointment today to get started.

Medicare does offer mental health coverage, including preventative mental health and therapy. Medicare Part B covers preventive mental health services, including depression screenings, alcohol misuse screenings, and wellness visits. It also can cover counseling, individual and group therapy sessions, and mental health evaluation and diagnoses. There are certain eligibility requirements, so make sure to check your health insurance plan for details.

Medicaid does cover mental health services. Coverage varies by state and health insurance plan, so make sure to check with your provider about the services covered in your state.

Counseling services, therapy sessions, social work services, and medication used to treat mental illnesses are all examples of mental health services that could be covered by your Medicaid plan.

Our doctors have the ability to refill non-controlled substance medications for common conditions such as anxiety & depression. Diagnosing mental health conditions is a little bit trickier and depends on a person's personal situation. We recommend booking an appointment - if we are not able to help, we will not charge you.
