Telemedicine

When it comes to psychotherapy, telemedicine offers the same treatment as an in person session, only remotely, rendered via a secure video link established between you and your therapist.

• As per NJ regulations, Telemedicine requires the use of “interactive, real-time, two-way communication technologies”.

• The video conference connection must be HIPAA compliant (cannot use programs like Facetime or Skype).

• Patient/Client must be physically present in state of NJ at time of session.

Short answer: yes. However, plans are not required to cover telemedicine. Eligibility will be assessed on an individual basis.

While telemedicine may prove to be an immensely helpful tool for those engaging in psychotherapy, not everyone will be a candidate. If you are interested in integrating telemedicine, we will work closely with you to determine the value it may add to your treatment as well as the frequency of its utilization vs in office sessions.
