Frequently Asked Questions
All sessions are currently conducted in-person. However, if necessary, telepsych services can be provided for patients residing in Georgia. For out-of-state patients, in-person appointments may be required on a case-by-case basis. We strive to maintain flexibility in meeting and accommodating our patients' needs.
To streamline communication between sessions, Provenance Psychiatry utilizes a secure, Electronic Health Record system (Osmind). Our system is compatible with mobile devices and uses an encrypted application that fulfills all HIPAA requirements, ensuring safe and efficient communication as per patients' needs.
At this time, Provenance does not bill through insurance, although we plan to accept most major insurance carriers in the future.
