Ep.104: How to Help Your Patients with Telehealth Services (Feat. Daniel Seidler, PT)

“It’s all about education, duplication and application.” Brian centers this week’s podcast around tips for financing your startup and to continue growing your practice. This is a process you need to know how to map out in order to do it properly and in the correct, systematic order. Brian outlines these steps while reminding the listener that money should not be the end goal, but it is valid to strive to live the life that you envision for yourself. Check your purpose!  Episode at a glance: Many practices are moving to a model that replaces cancelations and no shows.  With the right telehealth platform, you can treat patients from home or consult/screen them remotely. Every state has different telehealth regulations. Here's a good resource listed by state. Most states you can treat from anywhere, but you need to be licensed in the state where your patients are. Coverage and reimbursements are different - but many states have parity. This means coverage and/or reimbursement is the same as if the patient were being seen in office. Many private practice owners who have succeeded having telehealth in their practice started offering the service as a cash-based service.  You do need a HIPAA compliant platform - meaning the technology you’re using to connect with the patient. There are telehealth platforms that do this and are secure.  Telehealth complements your care, it does not replace it.  About Daniel Seidler, PT Daniel has a Masters in Physical Therapy from Columbia University and has been practicing since 1996.
