Is online psychiatric care actually legitimate? Covered by insurance? Allowed to prescribe? Short answers: yes, yes, and yes, within clear rules. Here is how Virginia telehealth actually works, without the legalese.
Book an Appointment →Your prescriber must hold a Virginia license, and you must be in Virginia during the visit. Both are checkable; both protect you.
Parity rules mean video visits are covered and billed like office visits, and held to the same clinical standard.
E-prescribed to your local pharmacy same-day, controlled medications included when appropriate, with proper monitoring.
Crisis care, emergencies, and conditions needing physical exams belong in person. Honest triage is part of legitimate telehealth.
