Telehealth
Telehealth
We know that it can be hard to find appointments that fit your schedule. Maybe your commute time is difficult to manage, making an in-person visit nearly impossible. Sometimes, just leaving home when you are dealing with stress or mental health symptoms can be difficult.
We feel mental health services offered via tele-health meet the wide range of diverse needs for many patients. Security is not a concern with our medical records software that meets the strictest HIPAA standards and ensures your privacy no matter where your visit takes place.
Effective
Research shows that telehealth services are as effective as in-person appointments when it comes to treating mental illness. Some people find that telehealth is more helpful because they are able to attend appointments regularly.
Covered
Almost all insurance policies that cover mental and behavioral health services provide coverage for telehealth appointments as well. We continue to expand the number of in-network providers that we can directly bill for your visits. If we are not in-network, our clinicians will provide you with all of the documentation you will need to submit your receipts of payment for reimbursement from your insurance carrier or health savings account.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is a form of video conferencing allowing psychiatric providers to provide services to patients outside of the office, such as the patient’s home or work. It also allows for consultation with family members, other providers or even teachers or support staff involved in the patient’s care. Patients who use telemedicine say they are happy with the service they are receiving and that they feel telemedicine is private and reliable way to receive care.. We understand it can be difficult to take time off from your busy schedule to come to our office. Telehealth can eliminate your commute time and lead to less stress, especially when you are scheduled to see your psychiatrist frequently.
What Do I Need to Do?
The main thing you need to do to prepare for a teletherapy appointment is to ensure that you have a private space. You also want to make sure that the device you use has high speed internet and a camera. When you schedule with one of our practices, they will provide you with the HIPAA-compliant software you need to participate in your appointment
