Four hours from the Wasatch Front, and growing fast

St. George is one of the fastest-growing places in the country, and the large hospital systems most Utahns rely on for specialty care are four hours north. When the local options are full, “go to Salt Lake” means an overnight trip for a twenty-minute medication check.

That maths is why so many people in Washington County simply stay on whatever they were prescribed years ago, or stop taking it and don’t tell anyone. Neither is a treatment plan.

I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Utah, and I live in this part of the state. Appointments are by video: a full hour for $175, follow-ups for $65, usually with availability within the week.

What psychiatric care costs in St. George without insurance

Cash-pay, published up front, no insurance in the middle.

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

Ongoing medication management, locally

The point of follow-ups is that somebody is actually watching. Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep — adjusted when they need adjusting, not just reauthorised.

No controlled substances are prescribed here — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines.

If you moved to St. George already taking something and have been getting refills from whoever would write them, a proper reassessment is overdue. Sometimes that means a careful taper; sometimes it means changing nothing at all.

Usually every one to three months once things are stable, and more often early on while a medication is being adjusted. Each one is 20 minutes and $65.
Do you take insurance or Medicare?
No insurance of any kind is billed. Every visit is cash-pay: $175 for the first, $65 after.
Can you prescribe controlled substances?
No. Adult ADHD is treated with non-stimulant medication only.
How quickly can I be seen?
Most new patients are seen within a week, with no referral required.
