How Psychiatry Makes a Difference
How Does Virtual Psychiatry Help Students?
When students go without the psychiatric help they need, grades slip and some may leave school. With an option for virtual psychiatric care, you give those students fast, no-cost access to licensed physicians.
Scheduling and follow-up happens in the app, so support is easy to integrate with your resources. Students and families gain peace of mind, and your campus keeps more students on the path to graduation.
Based on TimelyCare’s Measurement-Based Care data, students who entered care with severe symptoms achieved, on average, clinically significant change by their third psychiatry visit.
Appointments are available in an average of 2 days
Comprehensive 60-minute intake, followed by 30-minute visits for ongoing medication management (as needed)
No cost, no travel, no stigma in seeking care
Licensed physicians from a variety of professional and cultural backgrounds
Offer Students the Psychiatric Support They Can’t Wait For
How Does Virtual Psychiatry Work?
Request Referral
The student initiates a request from the campus counseling center or a TimelyCare provider for referral to access Psychiatry.
Meet the Psychiatrist
In the first 60-minute visit, the provider assesses and determines needs. Over 95% of psychiatry visits are conducted by physicians (MDs/DOs)
Agree on a Plan
After the initial consultation, the provider sends a care plan that may include medication management for non-controlled prescriptions, which is sent to a pharmacy selected by the student.
Follow Up
30-minute follow-up appointments are set to monitor progress and adjust medication as needed.
FAQs
On average, a student can connect with a TimelyCare psychiatrist in about two days, which is far shorter than the multi-week waits common at many campus or community clinics.
No, all psychiatric visits are covered by the institution’s TimelyCare contract, so students face no co-pay, deductible, or bill for care.
Visit summaries can be shared directly with your campus counseling center via EHR.
