What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to travel to Winchester for psychiatric care?
No. Most Boston-area patients receive all of their care via secure telehealth from home. If you prefer in-person visits, our Winchester office is about 20โ30 minutes from Boston, ~20 minutes from Cambridge, ~10 minutes from Medford, and ~15 minutes from Somerville.
What is a PMHNP and how is that different from a psychiatrist?
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse who specializes in mental health care. PMHNPs are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat psychiatric conditions โ including prescribing and managing medications โ just as you'd receive from a traditional psychiatric practice. Our provider is dual-certified in psychiatric and family medicine with 30+ years of clinical experience.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We consistently offer same-week appointments for new patients โ a significant contrast to the 3โ6 month waits common at many Boston-area practices. Once you reach out, we move quickly.
What insurance do you accept for Boston-area patients?
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Point32 (Harvard Pilgrim / Tufts Health), OPTUM, Evernorth, Mass General Brigham Health Plan, and Medicare. We verify your specific coverage before your first appointment โ no billing surprises.
Do you treat teenagers as well as adults?
Yes. Bedre Health treats patients age 13 and older across depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health challenges. We coordinate with parents and existing providers as appropriate.
Can I get a prescription through a telehealth appointment?
Yes. Our licensed PMHNP can prescribe and manage psychiatric medications via telehealth in Massachusetts โ including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, ADHD medications, and mood stabilizers, subject to applicable regulations.
Is telehealth psychiatric care as effective as in-person care?
Research consistently shows telehealth psychiatric care produces outcomes equivalent to in-person care for most conditions. Many patients find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own home. We use HIPAA-compliant video for all telehealth visits.
