Q: What is Telemedicine?
A: Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare using modern communication methods. Tennessee Orthopaedic Clinics has partnered with OrthoLive to offer this service using HIPAA-compliant secure video chat.
Q: Will my insurance pay for a Telemedicine appointment?
A: Yes, all insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid, now cover Telemedicine visit options to encourage social distancing without interrupting needed care.
Q: How do I schedule a Telemedicine appointment?
A: Currently, patients call our Scheduling Department to schedule a Telemedicine visit. Our online scheduling platform does not offer this option at this time.
Q: Is there an extra cost for a Telemedicine appointment?
A: No, there is not an extra cost. We bill insurance using the same codes as an in-person visit.
Q: I have never been to a doctor with TOC. Can I schedule a Telemedicine appointment for my first appointment?
A: Please call our Scheduling Department to determine if you are eligible to use the telemedicine option.
Q: What kind of device do I need to participate in a Telemedicine appointment?
A: The concept behind Telemedicine is for your doctor to see you and your injury, and discuss treatment options. You must use a device that can make phone calls, has video capabilities, a microphone and audio. Your mobile phone, either iOS or Android, your computer or iPad are all acceptable methods.
Q: Will I need Wifi?
A: WiFi is not required, however, it is highly recommended because you need the ability to connect to the internet. If you do not have WiFi, you need a mobile device with LTE, 4G or 3G service.
Q: What type of treatments are provided?
A: Your TOC provider can order testing such as MRI, CT, Electrodiagnostic studies (EMG/NCS) and X-rays. Treatments including injections, physical or hand therapy, prescription medications and bracing can also be ordered.
Q: How long will my visit last?
A: Typically, you can expect your visit to last 10 minutes or less.
