Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.

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.
