How It Works: The Path to Virtual Care
To ensure the highest standard of patient safety and clinical accuracy, our telehealth program follows a simple two-step process:
- Initial In-Person Evaluation: All new patients begin with an initial, thorough evaluation at our calm and welcoming clinic in Tempe, AZ.
- Seamless Virtual Follow-Ups: Once your personalized treatment plan is established, your routine psychiatric care, medication management, and therapy sessions can be completed entirely online.
Secure Access via the MYIO Patient Portal
All virtual appointments take place through the secure MYIO patient portal. MYIO protects your private medical data while giving you a direct, encrypted link to video sessions, scheduling updates, and messaging with your care team.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I do my very first appointment online?
No. To maintain regulatory compliance and provide the safest, most accurate diagnosis, all patients must complete an initial in-person evaluation at our Tempe office. Your intake appointment will be online, but follow-ups may be online depending on your diagnosis and prescribed medications.
Is virtual care as effective as in-person treatment?
Yes. Studies show that online psychiatry, medication management, and therapy are highly effective and deliver clinical outcomes comparable to those of traditional face-to-face office visits for most conditions.
Can I receive Suboxone or other MAT services online?
No. After your initial clinical assessment in our office, your routine follow-up appointments for our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program for alcohol or opioid use will be in-person.
Is the telehealth platform secure and private?
Absolutely. We prioritize your confidentiality. Our virtual care sessions are conducted exclusively through the secure, HIPAA-compliant MYIO patient portal, ensuring your personal health information remains completely protected.
What technology do I need for an online care visit?
You will need a smartphone, tablet, or computer equipped with a working camera, a microphone, a reliable internet connection, and the MYIO patient portal app installed or opened in your browser.
Does health insurance cover behavioral telehealth services?
Most major insurance plans in Arizona cover telebehavioral health services exactly like traditional office visits. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly or reaching out to our billing team at (480) 471-8980 to verify your specific coverage benefits.
