PATIENT RESOURCES

A telehealth appointment is an opportunity to have a visit with your known and trusted provider for convenient and comprehensive care that is currently covered by most insurance companies. Once you make a telehealth appointment, you should expect to receive emails for detailed telehealth application download and sign-on instructions so that you may have your visit using your mobile device or desktop computer. You and your provider will connect via real-time audio and video, so you will be able to hear and see each other.

Several urogynecological complaints can be successfully completed through a telehealth visit with your healthcare provider. Please call our office directly to see if your medical needs can be met through a telehealth visit.  Some typical conditions that are potentially appropriate for a telehealth visit are the following:

• Uncomplicated urinary tract infections and many urinary symptoms
• Pelvic pain
• Follow-up after an uncomplicated surgery or procedure
• Follow-up on lab and imaging results
• Prescription refills and follow-up visits
• Menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats or vaginal dryness and painful intercourse)
• Vaginits symptoms (vaginal discharge, itching and pain)

Often times, your telehealth will be covered by your insurance. Most insurance companies have amended coverage policies due to the COVID 19 pandemic.  Please contact your health insurance provider to learn more.

Necessary precautions are being taken on behalf of our patients, visitors and caregivers. We are following CDC guidelines to limit the number of visits to our office by offering telehealth visits. However, some patient needs may require an in-office appointment.

If you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath, or are otherwise concerned that you may have COVID-19, we ask that you do not come to our office. We will reschedule your appointment and no cancellation fees will be applied. We ask that you have a clinical evaluation to see if you meet CDC guidelines for testing for COVID-19 based on symptoms, travel and exposures.
