“Telehealth vs. Traditional Visits: Who Wins, When, and Why?”
Show Summary:
Telehealth vs. traditional clinic visits—who wins, when, and why? In this fast, practical episode for women’s metabolic health, we compare what the public believes with what clinicians actually prefer, explain how insurance reimbursement really works (in plain English), and give you a simple triage flow to pick the right lane for today’s problem. You’ll learn when telehealth is perfect for data-driven coaching and follow-ups (CGM, thyroid meds, sleep, stress), when an in-person exam is non-negotiable (procedures, vaccines, red-flag symptoms), and what your responsibilities are in both settings so you don’t waste a visit. We wrap with lightning case studies and a hybrid care playbook you can use immediately.
Key Takeaways- Telehealth wins for data-dense conversations & follow-ups (CGM, thyroid doses, sleep/stress coaching).
- Clinic wins for hands-on exams, procedures, vaccines, imaging, and red-flag symptoms.
- Hybrid care is the real-life solution: plan on tele, touch base in person when it matters.
- Know your benefits: copay, what modes count (video/phone), and platform requirements.
- Be prepared: come with Top 3 goals, data (home vitals, logs), and a 24–48h escalation plan.
- Escalation is success, not failure: if you’re not improving—or uneasy—go in person.Action Steps (for listeners)
- Pick your lane: Decide if today’s job needs brains or hands.
- Open your insurer app: Check tele copay, modes allowed, platform.
- Use the tool: Fill out Top 3 goals, symptom timeline, and home vitals before the visit.
- Set a checkpoint: If not better in 24–48h, escalate to in-person.
