TELEPSYCHIATRY IN KENTUCKY

At Genoa Telepsychiatry, we increase access to behavioral healthcare across the U.S. by building telepsychiatry programs that connect patients with psychiatrists & APRNs remotely. As the largest outpatient telepsychiatry community, we hire, train, and integrate psychiatrists and APRNs into organizations that treat underserved communities.

Genoa Healthcare in Kentucky

In Kentucky, Genoa Healthcare operates 9 pharmacies and we are excited to expand telepsychiatry programs to CMHCs, FQHCs, primary care groups, and substance use treatment facility partners.

GETTING STARTED

Psychiatrists & APRNs: Any psychiatrist (MD/DO) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with a state license in Kentucky can provide care via telepsychiatry.

How does reimbursement work for telepsychiatry in Kentucky?

Each telepsychiatry session generates a standard CPT code for outpatient, psychiatric services.

Medicaid

There is no restriction on the location of the client receiving service whether in the clinic, at their residence, or out in the community.

Medicare

During the COVID public emergency, clinics billing for telehealth no longer need to be in a HPSA (Health Provider Shortage Area).

FQHCs

FQHC's bill the encounter rate when the client is remote. The encounter rate is specific to the clinic and is the same as the in-person rate.

What tech does my clinic need?

Setting up telepsychiatry at your clinic is simple. The set up will require:

• A two-way video telecommunication system that allows for real-time communication between the provider and patient
• HIPAA-compliant video conferencing technology
