The Mental Health service is by appointment and provided 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAre there required hours to work with ApkaMD?\n\t\t\t
Yes. We ask that Mental Health care providers offer a minimum of 20 hours of availability per month for appointments. What your schedule looks like though is up to you. You can supplement your current practice or potentially build a complete telemedicine practice, dependent on your state licenses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a psychiatrist, am I able to provide prescriptions when clinically necessary?\n\t\t\t
Yes. You will use our embedded e-script service for prescriptions, but we do not allow the prescription of any controlled substances on the platform. We have nursing, associate provider, and pharmacy teams to support prescription requests.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow do I bill and collect co-pays?\n\t\t\t
That’s the best part! No billing paperwork whatsoever. Once you complete your session notes and click complete, you will be paid on the next payment cycle (twice a month).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat are the top Mental Health disorders treated through the service?\n
