During the provider consultation, the CPAN psychiatrist will determine if the patient is a good fit for CPAN Direct. If a Direct patient consultation is appropriate, the psychiatrist will request contact information to schedule a consultation with the family.
Once the patient consultation has been completed, CPAN 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, CPAN will provide referrals.
