TeleHealth Appointments

​

Teresa offers the convenience of secure, HIPAA-compliant "telehealth" virtual

video appointments for nutrition-counseling visits.

​

​

What is telehealth?

​

Also called "telemedicine", telehealth is an emerging field of medical services,

including nutritional-counseling appointments, conducted virtually via a secure,

HIPAA-compliant video conferencing interface.

​

​

What are the benefits?

​

Convenience! Patients meeting in virtual medical appointments save commute time, avoid traffic, and experience less stress surrounding their appointment, yet still have the highest level of care and face-to-face accountability with Teresa.

​

​

Are there any special considerations?

​

Yes, if you're using medical benefits, you must be in the state of Washington (the state in which I am credentialed through the Department of Health to conduct medical nutrition therapy).

​

We can also meet virtually if you're not using medical benefits. Contact me for the very affordable time-of-service reduced rates.

​

​

Who is eligible to use telehealth (virtual) services?    

​

1) Washington-state patients. 

​

2) Patients who are not using medical insurance benefits.

​

​

What you need for telehealth appointments
