Telehealth psychiatry is a delivery setting for medical psychiatric care, limited to Florida presence.
Secure video means a HIPAA platform, not FaceTime.
Clinical FAQ
What if my kids are home in Hillsboro Beach?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Convert to office if video cannot complete risk assessment.
Do not use SMS for clinical decision-making.
Same PDMP rules as office.
Interpreter use when language requires it.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Hillsboro Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
If risk is high, stop and use crisis instructions for Broward County.
Confirm a private setting. Reschedule if unsafe or public.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
