During the provider consultation, the PeriPAN psychiatrist will determine if the patient is a good fit for PeriPAN Direct. If a Direct patient consultation is appropriate, the psychiatrist will request the patient’s contact information.
Once the patient consultation has been completed, PeriPAN will schedule a follow-up consultation with the provider to review recommendations.
Direct consultations are evaluations meant to help with diagnostic clarification and to give recommendations that providers can incorporate into their care.
After the one-time patient consultation, the primary care provider is expected to continue the patient’s mental health care. If a psychiatric provider is recommended, PeriPAN will provide referrals.
