Is telepsychiatry covered by my professional liability insurance policy through PRMS?

Yes!

I recall seeing on the renewal application a question about whether I utilized telepsychiatry.  At that time I was not, and really never intended to, but believe I need to start using it now due to coronavirus.  Do I need to let PRMS know that I’m now doing it?

We expect that most policyholders will be doing some form of telemedicine during this public health emergency.  If your use of telemedicine is limited to the duration of the emergency, there is no need to notify us.  If after the emergent need to use telemedicine passes, you decide to continue using this treatment modality, then you would need to contact your Underwriter at ClientServices@prms.com.
