Telehealth

Telehealth is counseling with your counselor through video and audio connection.  This is done online with internet access from your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Yes! I have a signed agreement with and utilize Google Meet for telehealth visits.  The signed agreement provides a secure, safe, and confidential video and audio format that is HIPPA compliant for privacy in practice.

• You can receive care wherever you are located - home, work, car (practically any place you can have a connection to the internet that is private enough for your comfort).
• Telehealth can reduce time off and costs from work, spent traveling, and even the need for childcare.
• You can keep appointments if you aren't feeling well.
• It can be difficult to try counseling in an office for the first time and Telehealth can help with that transition.
• With Telehealth, you aren't limited to who is in your area and you have access to more counselors/therapists located all over your state.

It depends.  Some insurance companies and/or specific plans cover Telehealth.  Some have only covered Telehealth during emergency declarations during the COVID-19 Pandemic.  It will be your responsibility to talk with your insurance provider as to the coverage of Telehealth counseling.

At this time, Whole Balance Wellness & Counseling is not credentialed with insurance companies and will not be billing insurance (this is in the process of being established but it takes time to get set up).  As a courtesy, you are welcome to request a Superbill to submit to your insurance company, but what you may be reimbursed or how it will affect a deductible cannot be guaranteed and you are encouraged to consult with your insurance provider about that process.
