The Appalachian Telemental Health Network (ATHN) is a set of online solutions sponsored by the State of Virginia and partners with the aim of serving Virginia’s mental and behavioral health shortage areas. The solutions include everything a Virginia-licensed provider needs to provide HIPAA-secure mental and behavioral health services and bill health insurances.

The Appalachian Telemental Health Network crosses many organizations and includes licensed Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Counselors, Psychologists, Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Addiction Counselors. Services are provided through a HIPAA-secure online platform where patients can obtain services from either their local primary care office or their own home.
