Psychiatry Consultation Line

The Psychiatry Consultation Line, PCL, offers prescribers from primary care clinics, community hospitals, emergency departments, substance use treatment programs and municipal and county jails the opportunity to consult with a UW Psychiatrist about adult patients (18+) with mental health issues or regarding general questions related to mental health and psychiatric care. The service is explicitly to provide “curbside consultation,” but the UW psychiatrist provides a brief, written summary of the recommendations sent to the calling provider via encrypted email.

Reach the PCL by calling 877-WA-PSYCH (877-927-7924) 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
