- Pediatric CareIn June 2010, the American Academy of Pediatrics called for all pediatricians to screen children and adolescents for mental illness and substance use.
- Primary CareAre there any limitations to treatment? Patients must be residents of California to be eligible for care. All limitations inherent in the traditional psychiatrist-patient relationship are present in telepsychiatry. You may need to visit your primary care physician prior to any treatment with medications. Not all consultations will result in the prescription of medication. When indicated, prescriptions can be sent (electronically, via fax, or by phone) to the patient's pharmacy of choice. However, state and federal laws limit remote prescribing to DEA Schedule III, IV and V medications. Thus the physicians are unable to provide prescriptions for stimulants or narcotics.
- Family PracticeAccording to DMHC Director Cindy Ehnes, the new rules make California the first state to shorten the time a patient has to wait to see a doctor by requiring that managed care plans ensure member appointments with medical providers be scheduled within certain time frames. “California patients are literally sick of having to wait weeks to see a doctor,” Ehnes said in a Jan. 20 statement. DMHC said it receives complaints from managed care plan members having difficulty getting appointments with doctors, noting a 2009 study found that new patients in preferred provider organizations and health maintenance organizations wait an average of 59 days to see a family practice physician in Los Angeles. The adoption of the rules follows multiple rounds of public comment from managed care plans, providers, and consumers through most of last year. The state's Office of Administrative Law (OAL), which oversees regulatory agency rulemaking, rejected a previous version of the regulations issued Jan. 9, 2009, on the grounds that it provided too little time for public comment.
