TeleHealthcare is a web-based method of video conferencing used over a secure platform between a patient and a consulting doctor.  

​

In a TeleHealthcare consultation, a patient meets remotely with a consulting doctor who will go through the history of their pain, injury or other musculoskeletal problem.  A remote  physical assessment of the problem is performed, followed by a conversation between the patient and doctor about what's happening.  A plan of care is agreed upon, and referral to highly qualified physical therapists or other specialists in the patient's area is made.  The consulting doctor follows the patient's care to completion, and is available for additional consultation along the way.

Q: What if I need a x-ray, MRI or lab test?

A: We've got you covered!  PhysioPartnerships can refer you to a local facility if you need a diagnostic study; most will take your health insurance.  We network with local specialists as well in case you need to see a physical therapist, orthopedist, neurologist, or general practitioner.  
 

Q: Is TeleHealthcare covered by insurance?

A: Some insurance plans may cover TeleHealthcare.  To keep professional fees low, PhysioPartnerships does not submit to insurance, and payment by credit or debit card is due at the time of the consultation.  We'll provide you with documentation so you can submit a claim to your insurance company.  You can also use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flex Spending Account (FSA) as a method of payment as well.
