Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Utah
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in the south valley — frequently cheaper than using the insurance you already pay for.
A lot of households in Sandy are insured through a high-deductible plan. Until that deductible is met — which for many families is most of the year — an in-network psychiatric evaluation is billed at full rate and paid out of pocket anyway, commonly $250 to $500. The insurance card doesn’t make the first visit cheap. It just makes the price unpredictable.
Cash-pay removes the guesswork. $175 for the evaluation, $65 for each follow-up, charged after the visit. No claim, no coinsurance, no bill arriving six weeks later for an amount nobody quoted you.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Utah. Appointments are by video, and there’s usually an opening within the week.
Compare it against what your plan actually pays before the deductible is met, not against what it pays after.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Sandy-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.
