Don't think so - I just Googled to confirm. HIPAA has an exception for MDs to talk to other providers without patient consent IF it is about a limited range of topics such as medication or health care. You could argue whether a therapist counts as a medical provider, but I would bet most psychiatrists do just to save time.
Eta: just to be clear - this would have to be initiated by the psychiatrist, not the therapist.
