- During this Covid-19 crisis, we are using new technology to help provide and coordinate your care. We may not be able to manage everything by audiovisual means, so we may recommend an actual visit. If you feel you need to be seen in person, you can request a visit. Also, technology can be interrupted causing a delay in your care. If that happens we will try to reconnect as quickly as we can. You can stop this telehealth visit at any time. As we are providing care over an internet connection, in rare instances unauthorized access to your information could occur. We have heard that insurance will cover telehealth, but we cannot tell what yours will do. As always you will be responsible for anything not covered by your insurance. If you are comfortable with the information provided then we will proceed with the telehealth visit.
- Review & remedy tech issues for patient.
- Let patient know that if you are disconnected you will work to quickly resume visit, but it is possible if issues are not resolvable that you will finish visit via the telephone.
