Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Idaho
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in Meridian — medication management without a months-long wait.
Meridian has roughly tripled in a generation. Its psychiatric capacity has not, and the practical consequence is that most people here end up on a Boise waitlist — competing with all of Ada County for the same handful of new-patient slots.
Being ten minutes from downtown Boise sounds like an advantage until you price it in time: a monthly twenty-minute medication check becomes an hour and a half once you add Eagle Road at five o’clock.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Idaho. Appointments are by video — $175 for a full first hour, $65 for follow-ups, and usually availability within the week.
Published prices, cash-pay, and nothing charged when you book.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Meridian-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 Meridian with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Meridian pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep — started, adjusted, and reassessed on a schedule rather than renewed by default.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. It’s a fixed policy, and better read here than discovered in your appointment.
A large share of first visits here are about what someone is already taking. If a prescription was started during a hard year that has since passed, that’s worth a full hour.
