Alta Care & Consultations

Evidence-based, clinically proven and secure mental health care from the privacy and comfort of your home or at our office.   

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly one in five (46.6 million in 2017) individuals in the U.S. suffer from a behavioral health condition such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder.  However, less than half of those 46.6 million received treatment. Studies have cited that lack of time, poor access, poor transportation, and fear that others will find out were among the top reasons why individuals who suffer from mental health problems do not seek help. 

Tele-mental health services have been proven to be as effective as in-person sessions 

Tele-mental health can be used to address many of these barriers. You can receive evidence-based, effective, behavioral health services from your home or office from Alta Care and Consultations. The sessions are conducted through a HIPAA compliant tele-video conference platform that is secure and private. You can reach a highly trained board-certified prescribing medical psychologist and licensed clinical psychologist to complete a full mental health evaluation and explore treatment options such as using a combination of mental health medication(s) and psychotherapy all while staying at home or during a break at work.  If you choose to, we can also provide the traditional in-person service at our office (pending availability).

Alta Care and Consultations is not an in-network provider with any health insurance plans; however most insurance companies will provide partial or full coverage for behavioral health services rendered by an out-of-network provider.  All patients will be provided an invoice at the end of each session that can be submitted to an insurance company or flexible spending plan for reimbursements. Please contact your health insurance provider to learn more about what your specific plan covers.  Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance company:

• What are my mental health benefits?

• Are tele-mental health/tele-medicine sessions covered?

• Is there a deductible? If so, has it been met?

• How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

• What percentage of an out-of-network provider's fees will you reimburse me for?

• Is a referral or pre-authorization required in order to be reimbursed for mental health services?

• Are there any time limitations regarding filing my claims?
