Partnership Access Line

 

1-866-599-7257

Monday - Friday, 8AM - 5PM

The Partnership Access Line (PAL) supports primary care providers (doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants) with questions about mental health care such as diagnostic clarification, medication adjustment, or treatment planning. PAL is available throughout the state of Washington and is funded by the Health Care Authority. The phone consultation is covered by HIPAA, section 45 CFR 164.506, no additional release of patient information is required to consult.

The PAL team consists of child and adolescent psychiatrists affiliated with the University of Washington School of Medicine and Seattle Children’s Hospital to deliver its phone consultation services. In addition, PAL has a master’s-level social worker who can assist with finding mental health resources for patients.


The PAL team is available to any primary care provider in Washington State to discuss the care of any pediatric patient regardless of insurance type (state, private, or no insurance).

Born in London and raised between Maryland and England, she attended graduate school at the University of Maryland School Of Social Work and trained on the Adolescent Inpatient Unit of Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital. Karen has worked in University of Maryland’s Dual Diagnosis program and Trauma Unit and has enjoyed working with adolescents, adults and families throughout her career.
