Telehealth

What is telehealth?

Telehealth uses online technology to conduct patient consultations over a secure internet connection. That means you don’t need to leave home or work to visit your healthcare provider in person.

Mamokant God Favor Healthcare’s telehealth services employ end-to-end encryption that observes the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) legislation, so you can be confident your information is absolutely confidential.

What advantages does telehealth offer me?

Telehealth has some significant advantages for patients. First, visiting your primary care provider is difficult when you’re sick or in pain. With telehealth, you remain at home in comfortable surroundings rather than enduring the ordeal of traveling to an in-person visit.

In addition, you don’t have to take so much time off work or arrange child care with a telehealth appointment because there’s no need to travel. You also save money on travel costs and avoid the hassle of organizing in-person visits.

In-person visits increase your risk of infection with colds, flu, and other transmittable diseases. If you’re infectious, you could also spread your germs to others. Telehealth reduces this risk considerably.

What conditions are suitable for telehealth consultations?

Mamokant God Favor Healthcare’s telehealth services cover a broad selection of acute and chronic conditions, including the following:

• Coughs and colds

What happens at my telehealth consultation?

At your telehealth consultation, you talk to Marie via your smartphone, tablet, or computer. You tell her about your symptoms, and she reviews your medical records. Using your device’s camera, you can show her visible symptoms (like a rash or swelling) and the location of any pain.

Marie advises you on how to help yourself feel better, such as by making dietary and other lifestyle changes. She can also send you an electronic prescription for any medication you need. Marie will also advise if you require an in-person exam or diagnostic tests.
