(#143) 3 Myth Busters - Office Visits VS Telehealth

Do patients respond better to remote treatment? Is there a risk of losing your caseload as we move our practice in the virtual space? How do we balance Telehealth & in-person visits?

In the midst of the pandemic, health care services are often delivered via virtual video or phone visits. This has been very valuable as it improves access to quality and cost-effective services. Nowadays, COVID-19 restrictions have been eased across different states, allowing in-person visits and driving providers to mix both Telehealth and in-person treatment. 

In today’s episode, we examine the important things to consider before making an all-or-nothing decision in terms of moving your practice back to your office or just going for a hybrid setup to know what works best for your patients.

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
  • “Look at your caseload. When we look at the impact of providing services via telehealth or in-person, it also depends on the type of client that you have— which means that you should be making a decision if you have the option of both on a case by case basis.” (16:47)
