Psychiatric Medication Management for Injured Workers

Treating psychiatric care

Medication management is ongoing psychiatric care focused on finding and maintaining the right medication plan. For many injured workers, it is one important part of treatment after a workplace injury.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911. Our office line is for appointments, not crisis support.

What It Includes

  • Prescribing and adjusting psychiatric medication
  • Regular follow-up visits to review how medication is working
  • Medication reviews and monitoring of side effects
  • Coordination with your other providers when needed

Who It Is For

Injured workers who have been evaluated and need continuing psychiatric medication care, including workers with L&I, self-insured, or third-party claims.

Authorization

In most cases, authorization is required for ongoing care on a workers’ compensation claim. Private-pay patients do not need authorization.

Telepsychiatry Across Washington

Follow-up visits are held by telepsychiatry, which makes regular check-ins easier to keep. Patients must be located in Washington at the time of the visit. Some services may be available in other states, so contact our office to confirm.
