Prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred Louisiana pharmacy. Controlled substances may require additional steps in accordance with Louisiana state regulations and prescribing guidelines.

  • Is online psychiatry covered by insurance in Louisiana?

Follow-up appointments are conducted virtually for ongoing monitoring and medication management.

Patients can connect with their psychiatrist through a confidential video visit, making mental health care convenient and accessible regardless of where they live in Louisiana.
