Couple of questions for you:

  • Does your insurance offer telehealth?
  • was it your psychiatrist who retired?
  • do you have access to your medical records?
  • do you have a pcp? You should talk to your PCP about this if you have one. It will help if you have your old medical records, but shouldn’t be necessary. If they are unwilling to write the script themselves, They should be able to give you a referral, if you describe how you feel, and what you used to do for treatment. If you have telehealth benefits though your insurer, see if you can meet with a psychiatrist virtually. They might be able to help. If they diagnose you (again), they might not be willing to write a script, but they should be willing to recommend that your PCP wrote a script. You will have to see whomever writes the script at least every three months.
