StationMD offers two services in Ohio:
To improve healthcare options for people with I/DD in Ohio, and to better support their families and caregivers, the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) has made StationMD’s I/DD-specialized, 24/7 telehealth service available as a “Health Care Assessment” service that people can choose on their Ohio Individual Service Plan (OhioISP).
Effective January 1, 2025, any Ohio resident on the below Waivers is eligible to enroll for StationMD’s I/DD-specialized, 24/7 telehealth service through their OhioISP:
Once an individual is enrolled for StationMD’s service through their OhioISP, they can start a telemedicine visit anytime, day or night, whenever they need a doctor’s attention, including:

Prescription refills, general medical guidance
Urinary tract infections, constipation, & diarrhea

The StationMD receptionist will collect patient information (please have insurance & Medicaid information ready)
A StationMD technical assistant will help the individual and/or caregiver complete patient check-in from a smart device (Android, iPhone, iPad, or tablet)

Following a telemedicine visit, StationMD will coordinate with the individual and/or their caregiver/guardian and the individual’s regular doctors as needed, to ensure continuity of care.
Should an individual need a physician’s attention immediately, StationMD will coordinate with the individual’s preferred emergency department to prepare for the patient’s arrival.
StationMD is not a replacement for primary care but rather an additional resource when people with I/DD need immediate medical care.
StationMD offers person-centered, evidence-based telepsychiatry care to reduce logistical challenges for people with I/DD, caregivers, and provider agencies. This telehealth service allows individuals with I/DD to establish regular visits with an I/DD-specialized psychiatrist who can help:
Manage medication regimens for optimal performance
Reduce unwanted effects of medications
Phase out unnecessary medications
Achieve mental health stability and maintain wellness
