Psychiatric eConsult Capacity · California
Psychiatric expertise
for primary care.
Dedicated psychiatric eConsult capacity for health plans and provider networks across California. Physician-led, asynchronous, and designed to work within your existing infrastructure.
Focused psychiatric access with a leaner operating model than broad multi-specialty platforms.
Initial clinical focus: Adult Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
The Access Gap
Not every psychiatric question requires an immediate specialty referral.
Primary-care clinicians frequently manage patients with behavioral-health conditions while facing limited access to psychiatric specialists.
For appropriate clinical questions, asynchronous consultation can provide specialist guidance without immediately transferring care—and can identify when direct psychiatric referral is warranted.
Psych Access Partners
Dedicated psychiatric capacity, built around primary care.
Rather than relying on individual referrals or locating an available psychiatrist for each question, organizations can add dedicated psychiatric capacity behind the clinicians and workflows they already support.
Timely specialist guidance
Diagnostic clarification, medication management, treatment planning, and referral decisions—without the wait for a specialty appointment.
Dependable capacity
Organized psychiatric availability with consistent clinical standards. Target response within 24 hours.
Organizational scale
Psychiatric specialist coverage designed to serve healthcare organizations at the network level, not one referral at a time.
