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.
​
​
