INSURANCE - Some insurances allow patients to be at a non-IBHMG location, while some require patients to be at seen at a IBHMG location. Our team will verify patient benefits even if you access from your electronics at home or any location. Other insurance may require you still visit your doctor’s office location closest to you and the doctor will see you through video-conferencing. - If unsure whether you are allowed, give your insurance a call to verify if they allow a telepsych visit.
