Telemedicine
Telemedicine
Telemedicine is temporarily available upon request for follow-up patients only. All new patients must be in-person for the initial evaluation. To maintain excellent care patients must be seen every other visit in person. Most health insurance will cover telemedicine in the same way that in-person visits are covered. However, it is important that you check with your insurer before your telemedicine visit or call our clinic to confirm this coverage.
In order to have a successful telemedicine connection you must have a strong wifi signal. A cellular signal will not suffice.
The clinic uses the secure HIPAA-compliant platform 'Doximity' to conduct telemedicine sessions. Ten minutes prior to the scheduled session, our office will contact the scheduled patient and collect payment.
