StationMD offers two services in Pennsylvania:
To improve healthcare options for people with I/DD in Pennsylvania, and to better support their families and caregivers, the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has made StationMD’s I/DD-specialized, 24/7 telehealth service available as a “Specialty Telehealth and Assessment Team (STAT)” service that people can choose on their individual support plan (ISP).

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
