Getting to therapy can be difficult and that’s why telehealth is the perfect solution.
Telehealth (or telemedicine) is a fairly recent innovation. Telehealth allows the facilitation of health-related services to patients via live video conferencing. Thanks to modern technology, just about everyone in the U.S. has a smart phone or tablet capable of video chat. This ease of access to make video calls has revolutionized the health industry, allowing doctors and nurses to interact with patients through a convenient phone call.
In the United States, approximately 80 million people have inadequate health insurance, or no health insurance at all. Telehealth can be more affordable for clients paying out of pocket.
So if this sounds like you:
- You lack health insurance, or recently lost coverage
- Your health problem isn’t covered by your insurance
- You don’t have the right type of medical professional nearby
- You lack the time or resources to get to an in-person medical appointment
- You want the ease and convenience of a video conference appointment
… then Telehealth services may be just what you need.
The convenience of scheduling an appointment through a phone app cannot be understated. Quickly pick a date and time, and you’ve scheduled your online appointment. There’s no need to get ready, or even leave your bed or couch. If you have social anxiety or phobias that cause you to avoid social interactions, Telehealth makes it easier for you to get therapy or medication.
Do you need to see a therapist, but are unable to leave your home? Then telehealth is a great option for you.
