Telehealth offered at Grace Cottage Family Health

TOWNSHEND — Grace Cottage Family Health is offering Telehealth appointments to provide additional access to primary care health needs in view of social distancing necessary because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Telehealth is a virtual (video chat) appointment with a health care provider for both established and new patients.

Telehealth may not be right for everyone. Grace Cottage's scheduling center, with guidance of the health center's medical team, can help you determine whether the method is appropriate and set up an appointment.

What you need to know:

• You do not need to download anything. You just need a computer or a device with a camera and microphone and to be available at the scheduled appointment time.

• You click the personalized link provided to you on your device at the time your appointment is scheduled.

• All data is secure and private, and no information is stored.

• Most Telehealth visits are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance.

• Zoom is the video conferencing platform.

For more information or to make an appointment, call 802-365-4331.
