The Palouse

Eight miles from Washington, which complicates things

Moscow sits almost on the state line, with Pullman just across it. For everyday life the border is invisible; for telehealth it isn’t. A provider generally has to be licensed in the state where the patient is physically located, so a Washington-based practice often can’t see you at your apartment in Idaho.

Add a university town’s demand for first-time evaluations and a small local supply of prescribers, and the wait for a psychiatric appointment on the Palouse gets long quickly.

I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Idaho. Video appointments: $175 for a full first hour, $65 for follow-ups, usually available within the week.

What psychiatric care costs in Moscow without insurance

Flat published pricing, cash-pay, no network to verify first.

VisitPrice
New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler$175
Follow-up visit — 20 minutes$65
Typical Moscow-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.

Care that doesn’t stop at the border

Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep — managed continuously, including across a move if you stay in one of the four states I’m licensed in.

I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. It’s a fixed policy, and better read here than discovered in your appointment.

First evaluations get a full hour, because the useful information is usually in the chronology rather than in a symptom checklist.

Psychiatry in Moscow — common questions

Does it matter that you’re licensed in Idaho and not Washington?
For you in Moscow, yes — it’s what makes the appointment possible. A provider generally needs a licence where you are physically located during the visit.
Do you see University of Idaho students?
Yes, adults 18 and over. No student plan needed, since no insurance is billed.
What does it cost?
$175 for the 60-minute first visit and $65 per 20-minute follow-up.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week, without a referral.
Do you prescribe controlled substances?
No, none.
How much does a psychiatrist cost in Moscow without insurance?
At a private practice in the Moscow area, a first psychiatric evaluation paid out of pocket commonly runs $250 to $500, and follow-ups $100 to $250. At Affordable Psych it is a flat $175 for the 60-minute first visit and $65 for each 20-minute follow-up, with no insurance billed and nothing charged at the time of booking.
