How Does Telehealth Really
Compare To In-Person Health Care?
(BPT) - Following the outbreak of the
COVID-19 pandemic in the United States,
the adoption of telehealth services has been
on the rise and people are turning to digital
technology more than ever to address their
personal health care needs without having
to leave their homes.
But while many have begun to embrace
telehealth offerings as a new way to connect to
care and address their personal health needs,
myths surrounding what telehealth services
are intended for and how they compare to
in-office visits continue to prevail.
To help determine how digital care can
best meet health care needs during quarantine
and beyond, here are the facts behind four
common misconceptions about telehealth:
MYTH #1: Telehealth is only for basic or
urgent care needs.
FACT: Telehealth can often be the first
stop for preventive, primary care and other
health and wellness needs. Patients can
connect with a doctor or nurse practitioner
to receive care for a range of acute, preventive
and chronic care needs, including illness
and injury, mental health services, and
management of conditions like asthma,
diabetes and more. Whether patients live in
a rural area or simply want an easier way
to manage their health, telehealth can adapt
to their needs.
MYTH #2: There aren’t any telehealth
providers in the area.
FACT: Many trusted local and national
health care systems provide telehealth services
across the nation. Today, more than half of
providers in the United States offer some
form of telehealth service, according to an
April 22, 2020, Merritt Hawkins survey,
“Physician Practice Patterns Changing as a
Result of COVID-19.” Additionally, recent
government, health system and reimbursement
policy changes have improved patient access
to telehealth services and are encouraging
use as a safe way to access care during the
pandemic.
In fact, locating telehealth providers is
easier than ever before with platforms like
Walgreens.com/FindCareServices, which
helps patients access care when and how
they need it. Patients can choose from more
than 30 telehealth providers treating over 100
conditions, while searching from the comfort
of their own home. Available through an
app and online, the platform makes it easy
to find and compare available providers by
location, preference, insurance coverage,
services and price.
MYTH #3: Virtual care isn’t as good as
in-person care.
FACT: Telehealth services can offer
high-quality, convenient access to care. Much
like face-to-face office visits, telehealth
visits can facilitate a trusting, open dialogue
with a doctor or nurse practitioner. Most
providers have a web-based interface or
mobile app, making it easy to log onto and
use secure, quality video for consultations
and to visually help communicate about
injuries or conditions.
Telehealth also reduces time spent in waiting
rooms and commuting to appointments,
putting more power in the hands of patients. It
can be particularly valuable for enabling
remote monitoring and regular check-ins for
patients with chronic conditions.
While telehealth can be a convenient
alternative to in-person care, there are still
instances where in-person appointments
are recommended, such as in the case
of a medical emergency. To consider the
best option for care needs, check with
a doctor.
MYTH #4: Telehealth is too expensive.
FACT: Telehealth and other services can
help save money while expanding access to
care. When looking for a telehealth provider,
it can prove cost-effective to compare
options based on pricing, insurance coverage,
preferences and services provided. Look for
telehealth options that list transparent pricing
information to help guide the search.
If a consultation requires a prescription,
Walgreens also has 24/7 pharmacy chat
capabilities through its app and Walgreens.
com/SaveOnRX with discounted pricing on
a range of medications.
Telehealth is more accessible than ever as
more providers evolve and adapt technologies
to meet patient needs at a safe distance.
But even as social distancing constrictions
lift, digital wellness offerings will present
greater flexibility and convenience in meeting
individual health care needs. •
