Greater Boston Psychiatric Services provides board-certified telehealth psychiatric evaluations for adults (18+) located anywhere in Massachusetts. Founded in 2016, our practice works entirely by secure video, so you can complete a full evaluation from home rather than driving to an office.
What an Online Psychiatric Evaluation Includes
Your first appointment is a comprehensive conversation with a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist. We'll discuss your personal and family history, current symptoms, any previous treatment or medications, and what you're hoping to get out of care. From there, we work with you to build a treatment plan targeted at your specific symptoms — which may include medication, a referral to a therapist, or both.
We provide telehealth evaluations for adults age 18 and older for depression, anxiety and panic disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, sleep disturbance, and mood or emotional regulation concerns. Every appointment is conducted by secure video, so there's no waiting room and no commute.
Areas We Serve
We see patients by telehealth across every region of Massachusetts, including Greater Boston, Central Massachusetts, Pioneer Valley, South Shore, North Shore & Merrimack Valley, Southeastern Massachusetts & the SouthCoast, Cape Cod & the Islands, and The Berkshires. If your town isn't listed by name on our site, you're almost certainly still covered — telehealth means location within Massachusetts is what matters, not distance from any office.
Insurance & Self-Pay
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Optum, Tufts Health Plan, Wellpoint, United Healthcare, HPI, Mass General Brigham, Carelon, UMR, and UniCare. Self-pay options are available for patients whose plans we do not accept. We are unable to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or supplemental plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to travel anywhere for my evaluation in Massachusetts?
No. Every appointment is conducted by secure video from wherever you are in Massachusetts. There is no waiting room and no commute — you'll need a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera.
What happens during the first appointment?
The initial evaluation is a comprehensive conversation about your history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. Your clinician will discuss your background, ask about previous treatment or medications, and work with you to build a plan tailored to what you're experiencing.
Which insurance plans do you accept?
We're in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Optum, Tufts Health Plan, Wellpoint, United Healthcare, HPI, Mass General Brigham, Carelon, UMR, and UniCare. Self-pay options are also available. We are not able to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or supplemental plans.
Is this appropriate for a first-time mental health evaluation, or only for people already on medication?
Both. Many patients come to us for a first psychiatric evaluation; others are transferring care or looking to reassess an existing diagnosis and treatment plan.
