Notable telehealth and mental-health policy milestones in Michigan — how access to online psychiatric care has expanded for residents here.

2016

Michigan's 2016 telehealth law: Senate Bill 753

In 2016, Senate Bill 753 (Public Act 359) added six new sections to Michigan's Public Health Code, establishing a broad statutory definition of telehealth as the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to support long-distance clinical health care. Effective in 2017, this framework expressly includes telemedicine and lets Michigan-licensed health professionals deliver care remotely.

Private-insurance parity for telemedicine (2012)

Michigan enacted its telemedicine private-insurance parity law in 2012 (MCL 500.3476, added by Public Act 215 of 2012), requiring insurers to provide at least the same coverage for a service delivered by telemedicine as if it were provided face-to-face. That coverage parity is part of why many Michigan commercial plans cover online psychiatry visits.

Michigan mandates telehealth coverage parity

Under Michigan's Insurance Code (MCL 500.3476), if a service is delivered through telemedicine, insurers must provide at least the same coverage as they would if the service were provided face-to-face. This parity supports remote access to psychiatric and mental health care for patients across urban, suburban, rural and underserved areas.

Michigan FAQ

Questions from Michigan patients

Why choose an online psychiatrist in Michigan?
Many Michigan residents face long waits and travel hurdles for in-person psychiatric care, especially in rural areas. Telepsychiatry lets you get expert, evidence-based care from home, skip waiting rooms, and access a wider range of providers than you might find locally.
Where in Michigan do you provide care?
Anywhere in the state — Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint, Traverse City, Marquette, Kalamazoo and beyond, including rural and underserved communities. You just need to be physically located in Michigan at the time of your session.
Do you take my insurance in Michigan?
We're in-network with major plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (and its plans like Blue Care Network and GradCare), Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. Our billing team verifies your coverage before your first appointment, and self-pay is available.
How soon can I be seen in Michigan?
Most new Michigan patients are scheduled within the week. As a private, clinician-owned practice, we skip the community-clinic waitlists — request an appointment online and complete intake on your own schedule.
Can you prescribe medication in Michigan?
Yes. Our Michigan-licensed psychiatric providers manage medication and coordinate it with therapy as a single plan. We focus on evidence-based, non-controlled medications and do not prescribe controlled substances such as Adderall or Xanax.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat adults and adolescents for depression, anxiety and panic, social anxiety, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, and substance use in coordination with primary providers — with personalized, evidence-based plans.

Care by condition in Michigan

Online bipolar disorder treatment in Michigan

Bipolar disorder needs steady, expert management: the right mood stabilizer, careful monitoring over time, and a provider who knows your history. Our Michigan-licensed clinicians support ongoing management of stable bipolar disorder (I and II) by secure video, with regular follow-ups to track how you're doing and adjust your plan. Acute episodes such as mania or a severe crisis may need in-person or higher-level care, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the safer path for you.

Depression care by video, statewide

If low mood, exhaustion, or loss of interest has settled in, you can start with a video evaluation from home. Your Michigan-licensed provider works with you on a plan that may include therapy, non-controlled medication, or both, and follows up to see what's actually helping. Care continues between visits through our secure app, so you're not waiting to be heard.

Michigan — common questions

Can a Michigan telehealth psychiatrist manage bipolar disorder?

Yes. Our Michigan-licensed providers support ongoing management of stable bipolar disorder (types I and II) by secure video, including mood-stabilizing medication and regular monitoring. If you're in an acute episode such as mania or a crisis, that may require in-person or higher-level care, and we'll help point you toward the right setting.

Do I need to live in Detroit or Grand Rapids to be seen?

No. Because all care is by secure video, we serve residents anywhere in Michigan, from Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor to Grand Rapids and rural and northern parts of the state. You just need to be physically located in Michigan for your visits.

Does TelePsychHealth take insurance in Michigan?

We're in-network with many major commercial plans, and we verify your benefits before your first visit so you understand your expected cost up front. If you're paying out of pocket, we'll be clear about that ahead of time too.
