TELEHEALTH: SERVING YOU IN THESE TROUBLING TIMES
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic that has been causing numerous health care facilities to shut down, we as medical professionals are diligently trying to serve our patients in the best ways possible without risking the spread of this disease. Because of this, telehealth services are the best possible option for us at this time. By providing care for our patients virtually, as opposed to in person, we are able to keep both our patients and PT providers safe. For more information on our telehealth services and how they may benefit you, feel free to call us at (631) 665-6040 OR schedule a telehealthappointment onour websitepanettapt.com/discovery-visit. What is telehealth? You may be wondering what exactly telehealth is. Essentially, it is a way for us to make sure that our patients are still receiving the highest possible quality of care they need from a remote location. Telehealth services can be accessed via your smartphone or computer, and you will be able to perform your PT treatments from the comfort of your own home during this quarantine. You will also be able to track your progress and see how you are improving throughout your treatments – without coming directly to our clinic. At Panetta Physical Therapy, our telehealth services offer live consultation where you can meet and chat with your physical therapist about your treatment plan. That being said, there are numerous conditions that can still be treated and improved via telehealth services, including, but not
limited to: • Arthritis pain • Back pain • Headaches/migraines
• Post-surgical rehab • Shoulder/knee pain • Sports medicine/athletic training • Fibromyalgia, and other chronic conditions • Injury rehab • And much more Are insurers required to cover telehealth visits?
Yes. Individual and group health insurance policies and contracts delivered, or issued for delivery in New York, including through the NY State of Health Marketplace or the New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP) for public employees, may not exclude a service that is otherwise covered under the health insurance policy or contract because the service is delivered via telehealth. If the policy or contract would cover the service at the in-network provider’s office, an insurer is required to cover it if it is provided by telehealth by an in-network provider Even if your insurance does not cover telehealth services, we are offering free check-ups for our patients via telehealth.
