About GABA Telepsychiatry

Who We Are?

GABA Telepsychiatry is a unique practice, where our US-licensed, trained, and insured urgent psychiatrist offers the closest possible approximation to traditional psychiatric services in a telepsychiatry format.

Gaba telepsychiatry is known to follow US Psychiatry guidelines and standards of care ensuring safe, ethical, legal, and effective psychiatric services.

Our aim is to provide the highest quality care to patients, who cannot access care from the urgent psychiatrist of their choice due to scheduling difficulties or geographic location.

Effective business processes, efficient back office operations, and faster software automation allow more extended visits with more focus on high-quality care.

How are we
different?

Our urgent psychiatrist offers services via a HIPAA-compliant video platform as if you were in the office. However, patients are not treated via text message or phone.

We make sure to follow the same APA guidelines similar to an in-office visit, achieving the same outcomes and safety standards. At the same time, we are not a ‘therapy on demand’ or ‘text your psychiatrist’ app.

Peer psychiatrist networks offer only supervision and guidance. However, we offer comprehensive timely services with psychotherapy modalities and medication management after screening the medical causes of illness.

Gaba Telepsychiatry stands out by combining the traditional practice models and standards of care with some concierge features including care provider liaison, extensive patient visits, and your dedicated liaison to assist with scheduling, billing, lab work, as well as prescriptions.

Concierge Features A Traditional
Service

Psychiatric treatment protocols have been developed and refined over hundreds of years, through trial and This is why it is essential that they are adhered to where possible .

Before the emergence of telemedicine the only option was to see a psychiatrist was in the office. Although telepsychiatry is a more practical option for most people, it important not to lose quality of care when conducting psychiatry visits in a telemedicine setting. Ideally a telepsychiatry visit should be the same as an office visit. exactly the same rules, regulations and standards of care should apply.

Some concierge features which have been added, include the dedicated liaison for assistance with billing, scheduling, lab work, and prescription, as although automated, requires more patient initiative than an office visit.

Slightly longer psychiatrist visits return to a more traditional model and are one of the benefits of the private and group psychiatrist practice model over large clinics and hospitals, where layers of corporate overheads and insurance cuts leads to shorter patient visits to cut costs.

Traditional Psychiatry Visits Made Easy

Traditionally, patients would sometimes travel for hours to see a psychiatrist. If unable to attend their appointment, they will still be charged for the visit.

Patients would have to use up their sick days or take time away from their business to attend appointments. Finding a psychiatrist on evenings or weekends was hard. People who traveled for work or took long summer vacations would have to miss appointments and would have trouble obtaining prescriptions.

It is essential that patients are not punished for having a productive and full life. The goal is to provide high-quality treatment for everyone, regardless of their lifestyle or location.

Billing, scheduling, and inquiries can be conducted through a patient portal. Prescriptions can be sent directly to the local pharmacy via Electronic Health Records, or can be mailed to the home. A dedicated liaison is available for assistance should there be difficulty with any of these processes.

Despite having the motivation to receive timely treatment, they will find an improvement in their symptoms through the right combination of medications, psychotherapy, and close medical management even if the partial resolution of symptoms can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of life with a reduction in suffering.
