Top 4 Ways

• Below are the top 3 ways how telehealth supports
  online counseling
• Credibility Licensed Providers
• Confidentiality HIPAA Compliance
• Reimbursement Payment Gateway
• Connectivity Cloud-based Telehealth Platform

Credibility Licensed Providers

• More often, teletherapy apps offering online
  therapy services lack credibility.
• If patients receive treatment from general
  therapists who do not have a license to practice
  in a particular state, they might not have
  recourse to problems resulting from online
  therapies.
• Advanced telehealth solutions like OnCallMD ensure
  online therapy compliance with the licensure
  law.
• It first verifies and then registers licensed
  psychologists and healthcare providers to deliver
  distance counseling for patients 24/7.

5
Confidentiality HIPAA Compliance

• As every patient data includes highly sensitive
  patient data, it is crucial for psychologists and
  healthcare providers to maintain the
  confidentiality of patient information.
• HIPAA-compliant telehealth apps
  like OnCallMD support secure online counseling
  and other psychotherapy services via encrypted
  video chats.
• The provider-provider conversations and
  provider-patient conversations over text chats
  and video calls, along with patient records and
  treatment notes, are stored in compliance with
  HIPAA regulations.

Reimbursement Payment Gateway

• Most payers reimburse in-person psychotherapy but
  might not cover teletherapy services.
• Psychologists and mental health providers offer
  time-bound online counseling sessions but receive
  a lower reimbursement rate than in-person
  counseling.
• OnCallMD provides a proprietary payment
  processing gateway that guarantees
  physician/providers telehealth visit payment
  directly from the patient or their insurance
  company.
