From everyday struggles to complex diagnoses
Providers licensed to care for you in Minnesota
Having treated Minnesotans for years, our team knows how hard it can be to find a psychiatrist here — through no fault of patients. Minnesota averages just 8.18 psychiatrists per 100,000 people, well below the national rate, and roughly 38% of the state sits in a designated shortage area. TelepsychHealth is owned and operated by doctors who take the time to educate patients and families about their diagnosis and treatment — bringing board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric NPs and PAs, and licensed therapists to people across the state.
Minnesota telehealth policy milestones
Notable telehealth and mental-health policy milestones in Minnesota — how access to online psychiatric care has expanded for residents here.
Minnesota law requires telehealth coverage and payment parity
Under the Minnesota Telehealth Act (Minn. Stat. 62A.673), health plans must cover services delivered through telehealth in the same manner as other benefits, and a health carrier cannot deny coverage solely because a service was provided virtually. Carriers must reimburse providers for covered telehealth services on the same basis and at the same rate as in-person care.

Minnesota faces a measurable psychiatrist shortage
Minnesota has about 8.18 psychiatrists per 100,000 residents — 21st among the states and below the national average of 9.35 — with 456 psychiatrists statewide and 59 designated mental-health-care shortage areas. Virtual psychiatry can help extend access across the state.

Over half of Minnesota psychologists are 55 or older
Minnesota Department of Health workforce data found that more than half of the state's licensed psychologists are age 55 or older, with few younger clinicians in the pipeline to replace those retiring. As experienced providers approach retirement, virtual psychiatry can help extend access to care.

Minnesota allows patient-physician relationships to form over video
Under Minnesota law, a physician-patient relationship may be established through telehealth — real-time, two-way interactive audio and video — so residents statewide can begin psychiatric and therapy care virtually, held to the same standards as in-person visits.
