Talkiatry is a virtual psychiatry platform offering in-network care with licensed psychiatrists across 43 states. It specializes in medication management and psychiatric evaluations for children, teens, and adults. With no self-pay model, Talkiatry makes mental health care more accessible and affordable for insured individuals.
Talkiatry’s onboarding process is designed for speed and simplicity. New patients complete a short intake form with insurance and medical history. The platform confirms insurance eligibility, then matches patients with board-certified psychiatrists based on their clinical needs.
Appointments are scheduled—typically within 5 business days—and conducted via the Healow app. If medication is prescribed, it’s sent to a local pharmacy. Ongoing follow-ups are scheduled as needed, with most patients seeing the same provider throughout their care.
Talkiatry’s services include diagnosis and treatment for a range of mental health conditions, such as:
In some cases, psychiatrists may recommend or refer patients to talk therapy providers, but this is determined based on medical necessity.
Talkiatry does not accept self-pay, Medicaid, or uninsured patients. It works exclusively through insurance. Costs vary based on plan coverage, but generally involve standard copays or coinsurance.
Service | Cost |
Initial consultation | Covered by insurance (copay varies) |
Follow-up visits | Typically, a covered copay |
Prescription services | Paid separately via local pharmacy |
There are no subscriptions or additional platform fees. Appointments can be canceled or rescheduled at any time via the Healow app.
