A workplace injury can affect more than your physical health. It can also impact your emotional well-being, relationships, sleep, and ability to return to everyday activities.
At The Psychiatry Group, we provide psychiatric evaluations and ongoing mental health support for eligible injured workers. Our team works with patients, referring providers, and workers’ compensation professionals to help coordinate appropriate psychiatric care.
If you are an injured worker seeking psychiatric services, we are here to help you understand the next steps.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911. Our office line is for appointments, not crisis support.
Our psychiatric services are designed to address mental health concerns associated with workplace injuries and support appropriate treatment and recovery.
Depending on your clinical needs and claim authorization, services may include:
Initial Psychiatric Diagnostic Assessments: Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations to assess mental health concerns related to workplace injuries.
Follow-Up Psychiatric Care: Ongoing appointments to monitor your progress and address changing treatment needs.
Medication Management: Psychiatric medication evaluations, reviews, and ongoing management when clinically appropriate.
Medication Management and Psychotherapy: Integrated psychiatric treatment approaches when appropriate and available.
Claim Reopening Evaluations: Psychiatric assessments related to requests to reopen qualifying workers’ compensation claims.
Second Opinions and Diagnostic Clarifications: Additional psychiatric perspectives to help clarify diagnoses and treatment recommendations.
Services are subject to clinical appropriateness, provider availability, applicable authorization requirements, and state regulations.
Having some basic information available can help our team understand your situation and guide you through the intake process.
If available, please prepare:
Your workers’ compensation claim number.
The date of your workplace injury.
Your insurance or workers’ compensation claim information.
The name and contact information of your claims adjuster.
Your referring physician’s or healthcare provider’s information.
Any referral or authorization documents you have received.
A current list of medications.
Relevant psychiatric or medical records, if available.
You do not need to have every document ready before contacting our office. Our administrative team can help explain what information is needed for your particular situation.
Depending on your workers’ compensation claim, state requirements, and the type of psychiatric service requested, a referral or prior authorization may be necessary.
Some services may require documentation from your treating physician, claims administrator, or other authorized professional.
If you are unsure whether your referral or authorization is complete, contact our office before proceeding. Our administrative team can help clarify the applicable requirements and explain what additional documentation may be needed.
Please note that contacting our office does not automatically establish eligibility or guarantee authorization for services.
We want the process of accessing psychiatric care to be as straightforward as possible.
Step 1: Contact Our Office
Call our team at 844-495-HELP (4357) and explain that you are an injured worker seeking psychiatric care.
Step 2: Initial Information Review
Our administrative team will help identify the information needed to review your request, including relevant claim details, referral information, and authorization requirements.
Step 3: Referral and Authorization Coordination
If additional documentation or authorization is required, our team can explain the next steps and coordinate with the appropriate referring or workers’ compensation professionals.
Step 4: Scheduling Your Appointment
Once the necessary requirements have been addressed and the requested service is approved for scheduling, our team will assist with arranging an appointment with an appropriate provider.
Step 5: Secure Intake Paperwork
When intake paperwork is needed, our office will provide instructions for accessing your forms through a unique, secure link.
Step 6: Your Psychiatric Appointment
Your provider will review your concerns, relevant history, and available documentation to determine appropriate clinical recommendations and next steps.
Many of our psychiatric services are provided through telemedicine, allowing eligible patients to access care from the comfort of their homes.
Telepsychiatry can reduce travel-related challenges and make it easier to attend appointments while recovering from a workplace injury.
Patients must be physically located in a state where the requested services can legally be provided. Current service locations include Washington, California, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon, subject to provider availability and applicable regulations.
Whether you are seeking psychiatric services, need an independent evaluation, or are coordinating care, The Psychiatric Group is here to help you find the appropriate next step.
