MENTAL health services; PRIMARY care; MEDICAL needs assessment; HEALTH; MENTAL health

Telehealth can overcome access and availability barriers that often impede receiving needed mental health services. This case report describes an interdisciplinary approach to treatment for an individual with chronic physical health conditions and comorbid mental health concerns, which resulted in high utilization (and associated costs) of preventable emergency services. The report describes clinical case progression on anxiety symptoms and emergency service utilization while concurrently highlighting telehealth‐specific practice implications, especially as they pertain to training settings.
