Care Meets Convenience. BasePoint Psychiatry and Wellness’ Telepsychiatry Can Help Restore Balance to Your Schedule.

BasePoint Psychiatry and Wellness’ care team is proud to offer secure telepsychiatry services as a flexible treatment option for our mental health patients. Telepsychiatry consists of a virtual appointment with your provider by either video or phone. Although our care team loves to see you in the office, we sometimes understand that the best care we can offer to you may come from allowing you to see us from the comfort of your own space in ways that are convenient to your own schedule. Remote visits allow you to receive the same quality care as you do in the clinic, and are an option for most mental health conditions and issues. The virtual option provides a convenient solution for patients to stay connected with their psychiatric care, especially amid the current Coronavirus pandemic. Telepsychiatry appointments are available for most appointment types, especially for follow up and minor urgent care issues. In our experience, telehealth therapeutic outcomes do not vary from in-person visits. We hope you’ll consider telehealth as another option in your treatment toolkit.

What is Telepsychiatry ?

Telepsychiatry is simply psychiatric care, provided via a virtual visit with your care provider rather than an in-person visit to our office. You will be given a scheduled appointment time that you approve, instructions for accessing your provider. Then, you’ll connect by video or phone through your own electronic or mobile device. We utilize a telehealth platform called Chorono-Care, available by computer, tablet, or smartphone.

This flexible telehealth appointment option allows you to seek treatment and communicate with your care provider from the comfort of your own home or office space. A virtual visit can eliminate exposure risk to viral infection, provide flexibility for your busy life, save time, eliminate childcare costs and concerns, and also allows us to reach patients beyond the immediate Dallas area.

Why Should I Try a Virtual Visit?

An appointment through our telehealth platform is a convenient solution for patients to access care when limited by time, transportation, scheduling issues, childcare, work obligations, or even pandemics. It has many benefits, and some of those are:
  • Psychiatric provider access
  • No lapse in your medications
  • Therapy access
  • Less exposure to germs/viruses
  • Do not have to leave home
  • Time Savings
  • Eliminates Transportation Issues/Traffic
  • HIPPA compliant
  • Covered by insurance

Tips for a Successful
Telepsychiatry Appointment

Telepsychiatry is new for many. Below are some tips to make the most of your video visit experience:

  • Log on 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. This will allow for any technical issues to be sorted out before your provider arrives.
  • Check that you have a stable wi-fi connection.
    Use headphones. This will eliminate most background noise and ensure a private conversation with your provider.
  • Get comfortable. Like an in person visit, sometimes our care providers will run a few minutes behind.
