Talkiatry Joins Horizon Healthcare Services Inc as Preferred Psychiatry Provider
- Partnership with
New Jersey's largest health insurer gives 3.6 million people access to high-quality psychiatric care at no additional cost - Now in-network with more than 60 health plans, virtual-only psychiatric care provider continues to scale in-network nationally
Nearly 50 million adults struggle with a mental illness. Roughly a quarter of those report they are unable to receive the treatment they need due to barriers including lack of health insurance or limited coverage services, and lack of available treatment types. For those who have access to in-network psychiatrists, the waitlist can be painstakingly long: the average adult seeking mental health care waits 25 days to see a psychiatrist, with some waiting more than 90 days.
Talkiatry's emphasis on clinical expertise ensures that patients have fast access to high-quality mental healthcare. A new patient will fill out an initial assessment to help Talkiatry understand why they are seeking psychiatric care and their current mental health status. Following the assessment, the patient will be matched with a Talkiatry psychiatrist who will customize a patient's care plan based on what is needed and wanted from treatment. If the care plan includes medication, a Talkiatry psychiatrist will prescribe and manage it. If additional therapy helps, a patient's psychiatrist can collaborate with a Talkiatry therapist. Follow up appointments typically last 30 minutes and patients see the same psychiatrist each time.
"There are millions of people who don't have access to mental healthcare because of their location or cost. It's unacceptable. To build a healthier nation, we have to address mental health needs the same way we address physical health needs. Our partnership with Horizon will make sure that so many more people who need help immediately can get it," said Talkiatry CEO and Co-Founder
Talkiatry employs over 300 full-time, licensed psychiatrists with providers averaging an NPS of 80 since
