Recent Change to No Show/Late Cancellation Policy
Recently we changed our intake form to include our new No Show/Late Cancellation Policy. It now reads:
If a patient cannot make it to an appointment, the patient must notify the provider at least 24 hours before the appointment start time. If a patient cancels late or misses three visits in a row, they will be advised that they are under review and may be eliminated from seeing that provider or all providers in the HawaiiUTelehealth.org network.

Our Goals
Our goal is to provide Telehealth services to the residents of Hawaii who experience time constraints, financial burdens, and transportation barriers when trying to access services. Through generous grant funding, there will be NO COST to patients through 2023. All of our providers are licensed in the State of Hawaii.

Our Services
Our telehealth services provide appointments with licensed clinicians- psychologist, psychiatrist, family medicine specialist, mental health counselor, or substance use counselor.
We very rarely prescribe benzodiazepines (such as Xanax) or stimulants (such as Adderall) unless medically necessary, supported by documentation and agreed upon by the provider.
