The Outpatient services at DCH Transitions Behavioral Health are still scheduling appointments in the outpatient clinic. We have set up telehealth so that the psychiatrist and patient are not exposed to each other. We have this service available for therapy appointments as well. We are limiting group therapy services at this time due to social distancing orders.

Testing Guidelines
For clarification, DCH and other hospitals are not allowed to test a patient for the coronavirus unless directed by the Indiana State Department of Health.
Once a patient is identified with symptoms, we are required to submit the patient information to the ISDH. They will then determine if/when a patient is tested.
