About GABA Telepsychiatry

Why GABA
Telepsychiatry?

GABA Telepsychiatry is a unique practice, where the psychiatrist offers the closest possible approximation to traditional psychiatric services in a telepsychiatry format.

All affiliated practitioners are the US-licensed, trained, and insured psychiatrists, who are screened, verified, and are known to follow US Psychiatry guidelines and standards of care. Safe, ethical, legal, and effective psychiatric services are ensured.

The purpose is to provide the highest quality care to patients, who otherwise would not be able to access care from the psychiatrist of their choice, either because of geographic location or scheduling difficulty.

Effective business processes, efficient back office, and software automation allow more extended visits and a stronger focus on patient care.

How are we
different?

Services are provided by a psychiatrist through a HIPAA compliant video platform as if you were in the office.  Patients are not treated via phone or text message.

The same practices and guidelines are followed as an in-office visit, achieving the same results and safety standards. We are not a ‘text your psychiatrist,’ or ‘therapy on demand,’ app.

Peer psychiatrist networks provide guidance and supervision, and we offer comprehensive services with medication management, psychotherapy modalities, as well as screening for medical causes of illness.

Traditional practice model and standards of care are combined with some concierge features including:

Medical provider liaison, more extended patient visits, and your dedicated liaison to assist with scheduling, billing, lab work, and 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.
