The Psychiatry Group provides psychiatric evaluations for eligible injured workers with Washington L&I and applicable self-insured claims. These evaluations assess mental health symptoms, psychiatric history, and relevant information about the workplace injury. Findings help clarify clinical needs and support appropriate recommendations for further treatment or care planning.
Treating psychiatric care
A workplace injury can affect mental health as well as physical health. An initial psychiatric evaluation after a work injury is the first step in understanding what is happening and what kind of care can help. We provide evaluations for Washington workers’ compensation cases, including L&I claims and self-insured employer claims.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911. Our office line is for appointments, not crisis support.
Injured workers with Washington L&I claims, self-insured employer claims, or third-party claims, and some self-pay patients.
Bring what you have. Our team can help if some items are not available.
In most cases, authorization is required before the evaluation. Private-pay patients do not need authorization.
Evaluations are provided by telepsychiatry, so you can be seen from home without traveling to an office. 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.
The clinician establishes a treatment relationship and provides applicable clinical care.
The psychiatrist performs an independent evaluation for a defined medical, legal, or claim purpose. The psychiatrist is not acting as the patient’s treating psychiatrist unless separately established under appropriate circumstances.
