Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Consults

Munson’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is excited to offer psych consults to all providers who see pediatric patients (ages 18 and younger) in the Munson Healthcare coverage area—both outpatient and inpatient.

Please note that our child psychiatrist will provide recommendations but will not assume care or follow the patient. 

Consults include:

• Phone consultation with provider and child/adolescent psychiatrist.
• Consultations will answer questions related to diagnoses, medication management, non-pharmacologic treatment options, and non-emergent disposition.
• For more complicated scenarios, child/adolescent psychiatrist will see the patient for a telemedicine evaluation.
  • Families will be asked to complete an intake form with detailed history prior to visit.
  • Potential of 1-3 virtual visits with patients, as indicated.
• Written evaluation/recommendations based on initial discussion/chart review will be communicated with provider.

Hours: Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm

1. Request Consultation: There are multiple ways to request a consult:

• Child Psychiatry MHC: page via PerfectServe or email MHC_ChildPsych@mhc.net
• Complete consultation form. Can also scan QR code on right.

2. Initial Discussion with Psychiatrist: Once your request is received, you will receive a call for an initial discussion with our child psychiatrist.
3. Written Evaluation and Recommendations: Based on the initial discussion and a thorough review of your patient's chart, our psychiatrist will provide a detailed written evaluation and recommendations tailored to your patient’s situation.
4. Telemedicine Evaluation for Complex Cases: If clinically indicated, our child psychiatrist might recommend a telemedicine evaluation with the patient. This allows us to offer a more in-depth assessment and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
