What to Expect

A Real Appointment — Just From Home

Telehealth at Bright Horizons is not a generic online portal. You see the same board-certified psychiatrist every visit — someone who knows your history, your goals, and your care plan.

Comprehensive Evaluation

First visits include a thorough psychiatric assessment — your history, current symptoms, medications, and goals — typically 60 minutes.

Prescription Management

Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy the same day — including controlled substances where clinically appropriate.

Ongoing Continuity

Follow-up visits are typically 30–45 minutes. You see the same provider, review progress, adjust medications, and plan next steps together.

Coordinated Care

We coordinate with your therapist, PCP, or other providers — sharing notes and treatment updates to keep your whole care team aligned.

Common Questions

Telehealth Questions Answered

Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth psychiatric care delivers outcomes equivalent to in-person care for most outpatient conditions. At Bright Horizons, your telehealth sessions follow the same clinical standards — same evaluation depth, same medication management protocols, same provider continuity.

Most major insurance plans — including Maryland Medicaid and Medicare — cover telehealth psychiatry at the same rate as in-person visits. We verify your benefits before your first appointment so you know exactly what’s covered. There are no hidden fees or surprise bills.

Just a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, and a reliable internet connection. No app downloads required. We use a HIPAA-compliant platform — you click a secure link sent to your email or phone, and you’re in. We’ll send a test link before your first appointment to make sure everything works.

Yes. Prescriptions — including many controlled substances — can be issued electronically during a telehealth visit and sent directly to your pharmacy. Maryland regulations allow psychiatrists to prescribe most psychiatric medications via telehealth for established patients. We’ll clarify any requirements during your first visit.

Yes, new patients can have their initial evaluation via telehealth in most cases. If your clinical presentation requires an in-person assessment (for example, if you may be a candidate for TMS or Spravato®), we’ll let you know at booking and schedule your first visit in our Rockville clinic.

Absolutely. We use a HIPAA-compliant, end-to-end encrypted platform. Sessions are never recorded without explicit consent. We recommend finding a private, quiet space for your appointment — but even if you’re limited on privacy, your provider is trained to work with you confidentially.

If you are experiencing a psychiatric emergency or are in crisis, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room. Bright Horizons telehealth is designed for stable outpatient care — not crisis intervention. If you’re safe but struggling, we can often see you within 1–3 days.
