Telehealth is the delivery of behavioral health services using interactive technologies (use of audio, video, or other electronic communications) between a clinician and a client who are not in the same physical location. When telehealth services are conducted, the client must be located within the state of Ohio. During the telehealth session, we conduct your counseling session as we would a face-to-face office-based session. You will be asked a series of questions prior to beginning the session to ensure your safety. The session will take place utilizing telecommunication technology, through Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is a HIPAA secure service. The interactive technologies used in telehealth incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of client information transmitted via electronic channel. These protocols include measures to safeguard the data and to aid in protecting against intentional or unintentional corruption. No video, audio, and/or photo record
Telehealth services may be covered by your insurance. It is important to check with your insurance company to ensure coverage.
