Psychiatrist
We have agreements with psychiatrists to see clients that are receiving services from True MHS. We do not provide psychiatric services directly through True MHS. Our agreements with psychiatrists enable us to schedule an initial appointment within a few days of intake to our case management services, rather than clients waiting several months for an initial appointment. This is extremely beneficial for our new clients that begin our services following an inpatient hospital admission. The client is able to be seen within 7 days after their discharge date for their follow up psychiatric appointment. Then the client will be scheduled with the psychiatrist for monthly follow up appointments. If a client has an outpatient psychiatrist that they have a relationship with and want to continue their services, we are still able to provide case management services and the client does not need to change doctors.
