How BWH clinicians can best find a mental health provider for their patient.
Please note that the Department of Psychiatry at BWH provides care to Brigham patients only.
MEDICAL PSYCHIATRY (Consult-Liaison)SERVICE: Call 732-6750.
ADDICTIONS PSYCHIATRY SERVICE (APS): Call 732-6022.
OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT: There are two basic ways to refer to us. The fastest route is through our Triage Service, 732-6753, Monday-Friday 9-5, which is staffed by senior psychiatric social workers who collect the relevant clinical data and match the patient with the most appropriate mental health clinician available. Alternatively, you can directly call one of our clinicians, all of whom have their extension numbers on their Website profile sheets on this Website. There is the chance, however, that the clinician you call will not be available to see your patient and may then need to use the Triage Service.
INDIVIDUAL STAFF: The clinician's Website profile mentioned above also details each clinician's specialty areas and acceptable insurances at the "Affiliations and Profiles" link.
