What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is a virtual way to deliver healthcare.
Patients have the option to stay at home and receive health services.
What Do I Need for Telehealth?
All you need is stable internet connection and a device with both video and audio capabilities to connect.
What is the Cost of the Telehealth Visit?
Out-of-pocket costs will vary depending on the type of patient insurance. It was announced in March, 2020 by Vice President Pence that health plans will cover telehealth interactions. The details remain vague at this time, so the extent of coverage is not known. However, many of the larger plans have been waiving co-pays, deductibles and offering to cover costs for testing and treatment of COVID-19. Some insurance plans have been more expansive with their policies to cover telehealth interactions not directly related to COVID-19.
Is Telehealth Safe and Reliable?
Telehealth has revolutionized the world of healthcare and many hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices are using telehealth to see their patients. These companies are ALL required to keep your protected health information safe. *Make sure you find a quiet, private place in your home or office for your appointment.
