Best answer:

Answer by Dav
Depends on the outpatient services and what you mean by time. Psychiatrists are allocated 15 minutes to monitor medications, write new prescriptions and write their notes, therapists are allotted 50 minutes to do mental health therapy and 10 minutes for notes and personal needs like bathroom break. Most insurance companies allow between 8 and 22 therapy visits for mental health for treatment of even the most severe and chronic of conditions. PA state law allows only a couple of days of inpatient care for suicidal clients.
