PMPI TeleMed – Your Telehealth Partner

PMPI TeleMed
Your Telehealth Partner

We are Psychiatric Medical Practitioners, Inc., a medical group specializing in delivering psychiatric care to underserved and remote populations through secure video conferencing.

With over two decades of trusted care in California, we’re now bringing our telepsychiatry expertise to 17 new states.

We bring specialists to underserved metro and hard-to-reach rural clinics across the United States. Patients can receive behavioral and mental health services through telehealth in clinic settings without having to travel long distances to receive specialty care. Primary care and behavioral health teams gain convenient, remote access to experienced psychiatric providers when they need it most.

Using Technology to Integrate Psychiatry with Primary Care and Behavioral Health

Why Partner with Us?

When partnering with us, clinics gain access to our extensive experience and expertise. We supply and install the necessary equipment for free and provide a secure encrypted HIPAA-compliant connection. We provide ongoing support which includes clinical oversight, telehealth training for office staff, and efforts to enhance communication, seamlessly integrating into your team. Together, we facilitate coordinated patient care, delivering top-tier telepsychiatry and teletherapy services in collaboration with primary care clinicians and behavioral health departments, ensuring the highest quality evidence-based care.

Quality Control and Performance Tracking

We conduct comprehensive data analysis, leveraging various metrics including peer reviews, patient and clinic staff surveys, and no-show/canceled appointment data. This enables us to meticulously monitor service quality, enhance productivity, and ensure optimal clinical efficiency. Our commitment to continuous improvement is rooted in the insights derived from these key performance indicators, fostering a culture of excellence in the delivery of our services.

Why Telehealth?

The Telemedicine Development Act of 1996 facilitated the integration of technology into medical treatment by removing economic and legal obstacles. Telehealth, considered a supplementary tool in medical practice, addresses accessibility challenges for individuals in rural areas due to shortages of specialized health providers and long travel distances to mental health services. By providing teletherapy directly to clinics and integrating it into traditional medical systems, our approach aligns with studies emphasizing its effectiveness in psychiatric evaluations, interventions, diagnoses, medication management, and psychotherapy, ensuring seamless team-based coordination of patient care.
