What TMIN PCPs Need to Know about Synchronous Health |

-
Synchronous has recently hired additional therapists, and appointment access has greatly improved. There is currently no wait time for initial evaluations and open therapy appointments are available.
-
Since January 2023, Synchronous has completed more than 16,000 tele-therapy visits for TMIN patients, resulting in an average 20% decrease in depression and anxiety scores.
- All TMIN PCPs have access to Synchronous Health. You can make referrals through Tufts Medicine Epic, EpicCare Everywhere, EpicCare Link, Direct address message or via fax.
-
If you need training or retraining on how to make a referral to Synchronous Health, please contact Melissa Owens, Senior Account Executive at Melissa.Owens@sync.health or 617-504-6771. Contact Melissa or your TMIN Practice Optimization Manager with any other questions.
