Telemedicine: Everything You Need to Know
What Is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine allows you to receive mental health services through online video conferencing. It eliminates the need for in-person visits to a doctor’s office, letting you access the psychiatric care you need from the comfort of your home.
To use telemedicine, simply connect with your provider at Fidelity Health and Psychiatry Services, via their secure online platform using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Your virtual appointment is confidential, and the care and support you receive online are as effective as an in-office visit.

What Services Are Available Through Telemedicine?
Fidelity Health and Psychiatry Services provides all of its services via telemedicine, including:
- Initial consultation/assessment
New patients can schedule their initial consultation through telemedicine. Simply fill out a few forms with basic information before your appointment.
During the initial consultation, your provider will review your medical history and symptoms, conduct a psychiatric evaluation, and diagnose the underlying causes of your symptoms. They will then work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Medication Management
Once your provider prescribes medication, they will schedule regular medication management appointments. During these follow-up appointments, they will assess whether the medication is improving your symptoms and check for any potential side effects.
Based on this evaluation, your provider may adjust the dosage or switch to a different medication if needed and will send a prescription refill to your local pharmacy.
- Therapy
Therapy and medication are the primary treatments for mental health disorders. The choice between one or both depends on your specific symptoms and diagnosis.
