Toll-Free Access Line: 1-844-922-MAPP (6277)
Disclaimer
- By accessing the MAPP-Access Line, you automatically become enrolled in this free service.
- When the Primary Care Provider or Advanced Practice Provider phones the toll-free number, a Call Center Operator will ask questions to capture some baseline data, determine the general nature of the concern and to verify the best call-back number. This information will be passed on to the Psychiatrist. The Psychiatrist will place a return call to initiate the consultation and it is our goal to return each call within 30 minutes.
- The peer-to-peer support provided by the MAPP-Net Access Line is educational and supportive in nature. The Psychiatrist will not request identifying information about the child and may respond to your questions with “in cases such as these” or “best practice suggests…” This is not to be evasive, but our Psychiatrist has not evaluated this patient and is not providing patient care. The Psychiatrist may also direct the originator to the Mental Health Directory or to other helpful resources listed on the Montana Access to Pediatric Psychiatry Network website.
- The MAPP-Net Access Line is not designed for emergency referrals, ongoing treatment or management of a patient already under the care of a Billings Clinic Psychiatrist. In those cases, the consultation will cease, and a referral will be made to the appropriate medical provider or on-call emergency physician.
- At the completion of the call, a brief summary will be sent to the referring Primary Care Provider or Advanced Practice Provider. The summary may contain a link to an optional satisfaction survey. There will be no further written communication and there will be no treatment note in the Electronic Medical Record for this peer-to-peer education and support consultation.
