Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Idaho
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in eastern Idaho — without a four-hour drive across the state.
Idaho Falls is the medical centre for an enormous, thinly populated stretch of eastern Idaho. People drive in from Rexburg, Blackfoot, Rigby, Salmon and further, which means local psychiatric capacity is absorbed long before it reaches everyone who needs it. When it’s full, the next real option is Boise — four hours west.
That geography is why so much psychiatric medication out here is managed in primary care and never formally reviewed. Not because anyone is careless, but because the specialist appointment is a day of driving.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Idaho. Video appointments: $175 for a full hour, $65 for follow-ups, usually available within the week.
Cash-pay and published, with no insurance company deciding what it costs.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Idaho Falls-area private psychiatrist, first visit, out of pocket | $250–$500 |
| Typical follow-up, out of pocket | $100–$250 |
Payment is collected after your appointment, not when you book. A valid card is kept securely on file and charged once the visit is complete. No insurance is billed, so there is no deductible to meet and no surprise bill weeks later.
Pick a time that works. No referral, no waitlist, no phone tag — most new patients are seen within a week.
A full 60 minutes with Tyler, from anywhere in Idaho Falls with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Idaho Falls pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
Psychiatric medication gets right through follow-up, not through the first prescription. Twenty minutes on video every one to three months is something people out here can actually sustain.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. It’s a fixed policy, and better read here than discovered in your appointment.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for sleep and anxiety — adjusted deliberately, tapered deliberately.
