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 law requires parity for telehealth visits

Under the Minnesota Telemedicine Act, any health plan sold after January 1, 2017 must cover telemedicine. A health carrier cannot deny coverage solely because a service was delivered virtually, and must reimburse providers for covered telemedicine 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 in the country and below the national average of 9.35. With 456 psychiatrists statewide and 59 health-shortage areas, each psychiatrist treats roughly 10,901 Minnesotans on average.

Minnesota's mental health workforce is aging

State workforce data show about 12% of Minnesota's drug and alcohol counselors are 65 or older, and more than half of the state's psychologists are 55 or older. The trend points to growing pressure on access to care as experienced clinicians approach retirement.

What telemedicine can and can't cover in Minnesota

Minnesota allows a patient-physician relationship to be established over secure, real-time video, opening psychiatry and therapy to residents statewide. Certain services — children's day treatment, partial hospitalization, mental health residential treatment, and case management for children — still cannot be delivered by telemedicine.
