Teletherapy Guidelines | LifeCare Works

TeleTherapy

Quick Start

SCHEDULE:

Teletherapy visits follow the same schedule guidelines as face-to-face visits for Visit Type.
For "Place of Service", use "Telehealth"

INTAKE FORMS/INFORMED CONSENT FOR TELEHEALTH

The Informed Consent for Telehealth must be verbally read to the patient at the time of the first visit.
Document that the Informed Consent was completed in the Chart Note or by adding a "Task"
If there is no face-to-face discipline to complete all Intake Forms, these will be mailed to the patient/responsible party.

SIGNATURE LOG

Your Signature Log for the visit will be a screen shot or documentation of time spent on service.

PLATFORM

Most therapists use Zoom / free account which will give you 45 minutes per session. There are other options through HUCU and the EMR program which you can explore.

Clinical Examples

Many therapists have asked to see clinical examples and strategies of "what" a tele therapy session might look like. The following are examples with links to YouTube videos and we will continue to add to this list as we find more examples to share.
