“Provident's psychiatric services adds psychiatric evaluation and medication management to the agency's service menu. The objective of provident's psychiatric services program is to provide accessible psychiatric services to youth, adults, and older adults in the st. Louis community, coordinating services with provident's counseling services in order to provide the most effective course of treatment for clients. Services are provided by board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (pmhnp) who are practicing with oversight from contracted collaborating psychiatrists, as required by missouri's nursing scope of practice standards. The psychiatric services program is accredited by the joint commission. Outpatient psychiatric evaluation and medication management are available at provident's st. Louis city and south county offices. In 2020, the program grew from one to two pmhnps and expanded from serving only adults to also serving youth. Additionally, services were offered via telemental health (video conferencing) starting in march 2020, further expanding access to care and providing a safe way of receiving care during the covid-19 pandemic. A sliding fee scale based on income level and household size is available to make psychiatric services affordable to clients who are uninsured and underinsured. Various insurances are also accepted. Funding from st. Louis county's children service fund (csf) allows provident to provide care to st. Louis county youth, ages 19 and under, for no out-of-pocket costs. In 2022, 1,024 clients received psychiatric services.”
