Telemedicine Q&A

What is meant by telemedicine? 

Telemedicine allows you to access mental health services through online video conferencing. This helps eliminate the hassle of visiting a doctor’s office and conveniently obtain psychiatric services from the comfort of your home.

Use your tablet, smartphone, or computer and connect with your Psychiatric Services of the Rockies provider. Your face-to-face conference is confidential, and the support and treatment you receive via telemedicine are often as effective as an office visit.

Am I a good candidate for telemedicine? 

You complete a basic pre-screen form before scheduling an initial consultation. This information lets Dr. Ziegler determine if telemedicine services are an appropriate match for your condition and treatment needs.

While most patients can receive outpatient care through telemedicine, it’s not appropriate for everyone. 

What mental health conditions are treated through telemedicine? 

Psychiatric Services of the Rockies offers comprehensive mental health care during telemedicine appointments. You can seek treatment for most emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges, including: 

  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Mood disorders
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

If you have any mental health questions or concerns about symptoms, call the office to learn if Dr. Ziegler can help.

What services can I receive through telemedicine?

Psychiatric Services of the Rockies offers most of its services through telemedicine, including:   

Initial consultation 

New patients can schedule their initial consultation through telemedicine. You only need to complete some forms providing basic information before your visit. 

Your provider reviews your symptoms and medical history and completes a psychiatric evaluation. After diagnosing the cause of your symptoms, they collaborate with you to create a tailored treatment plan.

If treatment includes medications like controlled substances or ketamine, on-site and in-person treatment may be required.

Medication management 

After your provider prescribes medication, they schedule regular medication management appointments. During your follow-up appointments, they determine if your prescription has improved your symptoms and learn if you have any signs of side effects.

Your provider decides if they need to adjust the dose or type of medication, then they send a prescription refill to your local pharmacy.   

Therapy 

Therapy and medication are two of the top treatments for mental health disorders. You may benefit from one or both based on your symptoms and diagnosis.

To experience the benefits of telemedicine, call Psychiatric Services of the Rockies to schedule an appointment or request one online today.
