Ask questions, discuss cases, review treatment options, or obtain referral assistance. Whatever you need to support the mental health needs of the patients in your practice.
If you have a question about pediatric or perinatal mental health, here’s how the access line works:
- You (or someone in their office familiar with the case) can call the clinical line: 1-855-227-7272.
- A behavioral health expert (liaison coordinator) answers, gathers intake information, and responds to questions about resources.
- Then, within 30 minutes (or at a requested time), a child/adolescent or perinatal psychiatrist will call you, the prescriber.
