      What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?  

      Psychiatrists and Psychologists are both mental health professionals. But they differ in their training and the treatments they can offer. A Psychiatrist is a type of doctor who has completed medical school and residency, which includes special training for treating mental health. They are qualified to assess and treat both the mental and physical aspects of psychological disorders. These are conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking, or behavior. Psychiatrists can also prescribe medications and conduct medical treatments such as brain stimulation.  

      Psychologists, on the other hand, are mental health professionals with advanced training and degrees in psychology. They are not medical doctors like Psychiatrists. Psychologists focus on assessing and treating emotional and mental issues. They use talk therapy and other non-medical approaches, such as behavioral therapy and psychoanalytic therapy. Psychologists cannot prescribe medications. 

      Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?

      Whether you need a referral to see a Psychiatrist usually depends on your insurance. Some insurance plans might require you to receive a referral from your primary care provider to cover the cost of a psychiatric visit. Others will cover the cost without a referral. To avoid unexpected costs, it’s important to check with your insurance provider before scheduling an appointment to find out if your Psychiatrist visit will be covered. If you’re comfortable paying without insurance or your insurance does not cover a specialist you want to see, most Psychiatrists will also accept out-of-pocket payment. However, paying out of pocket is more expensive than getting insurance coverage.  

      How do I get a referral for a psychiatrist near Sacramento, CA?

      If you need a referral for a Psychiatrist, one good place to start is with a primary care provider. Talk with them about any psychological or emotional difficulties you’ve been experiencing. Your provider can then refer you to a Psychiatrist who might be a good fit.   

      How much does a psychiatrist cost near Sacramento, CA?

      The cost of your Psychiatrist visit will vary based on several factors, including your insurance coverage, what state you live in and what type of treatment you’ll need. You should contact your Psychiatrist’s office to make sure they take your health insurance. You can also ask them for an estimate of how much your visit or procedure might cost. Under the No Surprises Act, which went into effect in January 2022, every medical provider in the U.S. is required to provide clear pricing information to patients. 

      Why is it so expensive to see a psychiatrist? 

      Psychiatrists complete more education and training than most other mental health professionals. Because of their level of expertise, it can often be more expensive to visit a Psychiatrist. Finding one who is in-network with your insurance can help reduce the cost of your visit. With MediFind, you can search for Psychiatrists to get an overview of the insurance that they accept. You can also filter your search for doctors with experience treating specific mental health conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety. Before scheduling an appointment, you should call the Psychiatrist’s office just to verify that the insurance they accept hasn’t changed.

      When should I see a Psychiatrist near Sacramento, CA?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Psychiatrist near Sacramento, CA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Psychiatrists near Sacramento, CA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Psychiatrists near Sacramento, CA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Psychiatrist in Sacramento?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Psychiatrist search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Psychiatrist?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Psychiatrist near Sacramento, CA?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Psychiatrist?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Psychiatrist may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Psychiatrists near Sacramento, CA?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Psychiatrist search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Psychiatrist that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Psychiatrist search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
