Why can’t my psychiatrist see me when I’m traveling in another state?

If you’re traveling, your psychiatrist might not be able to see you virtually, depending on where you are. This is because medical licenses are state-specific, meaning your psychiatrist must be licensed in the state you’re physically in during the visit. If you’re traveling to a state where your psychiatrist is licensed, there won’t be any issues. Otherwise, you may need to plan your visits accordingly or discuss options with your psychiatrist before traveling.
