Turn the Cell Phone Off. We Mean It.

Thursday, July 16th, 2026

The grind of modern life will wear down even the best of us if we don’t take the time to step back, relax and spend some time on our own self-improvement. Of course, for many psychiatrists, vacation time doesn’t really mean vacation time. Turning off and tuning out for a week simply isn’t an option. Patient’s needs must be met even when you’re on the beach in Cabo sipping out of a pineapple, which can ultimately defeat the whole purpose of taking the vacation in the first place.

Other than a Virtual RN system, our top request from practicing MD’s has been Vacation Coverage. For an average period of 7-14 days, all calls that would normally be going to either an answering machine or directly to the physician themselves will be fielded by our team of professional RN’s who have been trained specifically for the task of handling all incoming calls to your practice. Knowing you can sip on your Pina Colada and spend some quality “me time” without your cell phone by your side is our gift to you for working so hard day to day.

PsychCoverage – Company Background

The dual mission of PsychCoverage is to substantially improve the quality of after hours patient care and to provide a trusted, reliable and affordable service to Psychiatrists needing a break from providing 24/7 on call access to their patients.

Why Brief Care Management?

A growing body of evidence shows that telephonic care management for chronic mental illness as an adjunct to usual care, has a favorable impact on treatment compliance, outcomes and cost.
