Telehealth ADHD Treatment New Jersey – Virtual Psychiatric Care for Adults Across the State

This will depend on the types of medicines. Telehealth prescribing is completely available for non-stimulant ADHD medications (Strattera, Intuniv or Wellbutrin). For the stimulant medications (e.g., Adderall and Vyvanse), the current regulations in New Jersey mandate an in-person evaluation prior to being able to prescribe the medication and include a follow-up appointment for telehealth (Telemx). During your consultation, Dr. Shershow will discuss your particular clinical situation and the appropriate regulatory road transparently prior to any prescriptions are issued.

A hybrid care model involves one in-person appointment at Dr. Shershow’s Manhattan office, followed by tele-care visits for continuing medication management and follow-up. The hybrid model allows equally specialist-level care with stimulant medication management to be fully accessible for New Jersey adults who either work downtown or are able to make a single trip to Manhattan. All subsequent follow-up care following the initial face-to-face appointment may then be provided through the medium of telehealth which eliminates the need for a repeat in-person travel.

Yes. Dr. Shershow treats adults with ADHD all across New Jersey, including Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Middlesex, Morris, Union, Monmouth and all other counties throughout the state via telehealth. Distance from his Manhattan office does not matter: Care is provided via telehealth for evaluation, diagnosis and non-stimulant medication management, and only one initial in-person visit is required for stimulant medication management per 2026 NJ regulations.

Most commercial telehealth programs tend to be volume based – they have short intake times and offer less depth to the psychiatric appointments than they do to prescription sales. Dr. Shershow’s practice is individualized: a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, a real clinical diagnosis, and a treatment plan created with your treatment history and situation. However, for adults who have complex presentations, such as ADHD with anxiety and depression or late-diagnosis of ADHD or previous treatment that was unsuccessful, the continuum in terms of clinical depth is significant.

Referrals are not necessary. Call or email the office directly for an initial consultation. Bringing previous psychiatric and/or medical records to your initial appointment is helpful, but not required for your appointment.

Yes. Often adults present to Dr. Shershow with an ADHD diagnosis and are not happy with the level, quality, or outcomes of their existing care. Your previous diagnosis, treatment and current symptoms are used to make a clinical review which can either be continued and modified or recalibrated as a treatment where it didn’t work or was not optimally effective. This can usually be managed through telehealth after an initial consultation.

Dr. Shershow’s office is out-of-network with United Healthcare. Numerous patients can receive reimbursement for out-of-network psychiatric care for telehealth. The office is able to furnish the appropriate paperwork for out-of-network claims. Please check your plan’s specific out-of-network telehealth benefit coverage with your insurance company prior to your first appointment.
