What medication management includes
Medication management is the ongoing psychiatric care that follows an initial evaluation. Your clinician develops a personalized treatment plan, monitors your progress, adjusts the plan as needed, and makes sure you understand how your treatment works.
At East Coast Telepsychiatry, medication management is provided by Amy Pharr, APRN, PMHNP-C, a NY-licensed psychiatric clinician, and it is an in-network covered service under NYCE PPO. Follow-up visits are typically 15–30 minutes and scheduled based on your needs.
How it is covered
Because the practice is in-network with NYCE PPO, your psychiatric evaluation and medication management visits are billed through your plan — typically with a copay. The published specialist copay for participating providers is $30; your exact cost depends on your specific plan, and we verify it during intake.
No referral is required to begin. You can book directly and we will confirm your coverage and the next available opening.
Practice statement: psychiatric evaluation and medication management are the in-network covered services at this practice. Controlled-substance prescribing, when clinically appropriate, occurs only under documented protocols. Therapy with our licensed therapist is self-pay and is not billed through NYCE PPO.
ADHD evaluation and care
Adult ADHD often goes undiagnosed but can significantly affect work, relationships, and daily life. We provide comprehensive ADHD evaluation and ongoing care, including medication management when clinically appropriate.
ADHD care is one of the most scrutinized areas of telepsychiatry. Our approach is factual and protocol-based: a thorough evaluation, regular follow-ups, and compliance with New York State regulations, which may include check-ins and screenings. We do not promise easy access to any particular medication; treatment decisions are made clinically and documented appropriately.
What to expect over time
- An initial psychiatric evaluation (typically 45–60 minutes) to understand your history and goals.
- A personalized treatment plan developed with you.
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.
- Coordination with therapy if you are also seeing a therapist.
