Enroll

Wisconsin health care providers treating women of childbearing age with mental health conditions or concerns are encouraged to enroll in The Periscope Project.

Enrolled providers have access to consult with a perinatal psychiatrist via the provider line. Please note, The Periscope Project does not provide teleconsultations directly to patients.

Eligibility requirements

• • Health care provider with a National Provider Identifier (NPI) or health care professional working for an organization that provides services to perinatal women
  • Treating pregnant and postpartum patients/clients in Wisconsin 

Examples of the type providers eligible for enrollment: obstetrics/gynecology, family practice, psychology, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, therapists, mid-level providers, midwives, behavioral health clinicians, registered nurses, lactation consultants, social workers, prenatal care coordinators, and home visiting professionals.

All consultations are provided within the scope of practice of the inquiring health care provider/professional.

Once enrolled, your subsequent calls to the Periscope Project will be processed more quickly as we will be able to access your provider information already obtained in the enrollment process. Enrollment in the Periscope Project provides important end-user data to demonstrate how our services assist health care providers in managing care for their pregnant and postpartum patients. Collecting basic provider demographic information aids in our understanding of the types of providers using the service, what services are in most demand, as well as, the usefulness of our services to providers. Enrollment information can be used to help guide on-going quality improvement efforts to ensure our services are meeting our community of provider’s needs

Enrollment information also can be used to help guide on-going quality improvement efforts to ensure our services are meeting our community of provider’s needs.
