TELEHEALTH
Telehealth Services in Omaha
Telehealth is a modern method of care that allows a patient and clinician to communicate through online video conferencing applications. This option is well received for those with anxieties, rural areas that may not have the resources needed, lack of transportation services, or lack of mobility for various reasons. While telehealth exists in many forms, here at CARITAS Counseling, we are able to replace your entire office visit with a virtual one. While not every situation is well-suited to this method of care, it is undeniably a great way to offer more flexibility that will help our clients. Learn more about how telehealth works and its unique benefits below.
How does a telehealth session with CARITAS work?
To take advantage of our telehealth service, you can simply set up an appointment as usual. When the session begins, you can participate using a personal computer with a webcam or smart mobile device with a built-in video camera. Be aware that not every situation is right for a video visit; however, your therapist can provide assistance and schedule you for an office visit should a situation that calls for one arises.
Benefits of a telehealth appointment
- With telehealth services, you won’t need to take time off work because you can easily fit them into your schedule. You can do the visit from anywhere that you feel offers you enough privacy.
- We know that everyone’s personal time is limited. If you have the responsibility for caring for children, running to sports or activities, or providing care to older adults, telehealth helps manage and maximize your time.
- With the current pandemic sweeping across America, telehealth gives our customers the ability to get the care they need while reducing their exposure to illness.
- It’s a very safe and secure option. Internet platforms have focused on providing secure and private software meeting the requirements and standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA).
- Most Healthcare providers cover telehealth services. We suggest that you contact your provider and confirm coverage. If your insurance does not cover Telehealth, CARITAS does have reasonable cash options.
