About Telehealth:
In general, many conditions can be addressed via telehealth visits and we are able to perform some of our medication rechecks, refills, or changes via this platform as well. By calling our office, our staff can let you know which appointments are appropriate for telehealth and which may not be.
How Does Telehealth work?
You can have a telehealth visit either from your computer equipped with a camera or from your cell phone. You must have a camera on your computer to have a telehealth visit.
Please arrive for your virtual appointment 10-15 minutes early to insure that technical issues
are not a barrier to a smooth experience.
The current platform is called "Blue Jeans". You will receive an email and/or text with the link to enter the telehealth "waiting room". Log on early so you can make sure your connection is set up properly and camera/microphone enabled before your appointment time. The provider will then join you for your visit at the time of your appointment.
Important Billing and Regulatory Information
If any information has changed since your last visit to the office, please let us know when you schedule your appointment over the phone with our nurses. These visits are submitted to your insurance like visits to the office are and we are expecting that they will be covered in the same manner as in-office visits by your insurance company, however there is a possibility that they may not be covered. In cases where the insurance company does not cover the visit, you will be responsible for payment.
If visits in the office are typically applied to your deductible or have a co-insurance requirement, this may be the same for telehealth visits. Please understand that there may be a bill associated with these visits just as there may be with in-office visits, and we will do our best to process these claims expeditiously.
