Mental Health and Medical Alongside
Feb 24, 2019
The benefits of having ONE physician or practitioner attend to BOTH your mental and medical needs is crucial. Many insurances are turning to practices that can handle both services for the patient. This allows the physician/practitioner to focus and adjusts accordingly when servicing the patient.
From medication reconciliation, to instant therapy sessions during a visit allows the patient for immediate care. This is key when avoiding hospitalizations which can incur in the thousands of dollars and still end up sending the patient back to his Primary Care for additional referrals and exams.
