With COVID worries and stay-home restrictions, face-to-face doctor visits have become a bit of a rarity. And this is likely to continue for a while. But don’t let your health needs go unmet! Telemedicine over the phone or via a web video link is a great way to have a checkup or get a diagnosis. Major health-care providers have been offering this as an option for several years, with many patients preferring the convenience of no driving, no parking problems, and no idle time in a waiting room.

How It Works
If you have a laptop with a camera and subscribe to a high-speed internet service, that’s great. But a smart phone is fine, and even a dial-up land line is good enough.
Simply visit www.designedtoheal.biz and book an appointment day, time, and duration. Appointments can range from 15 to 60 minutes (or longer) and can be for a consultation, treatment, or both. Once you’ve prepaid you’re welcome to a complimentary 10 minute introduction session.
Insurance?
Nowadays the answer is often yes for Telemedicine. To check, contact your insurance company’s member services and ask if Acupuncture is covered. If the answer is yes, Telemedicine may also be covered for Designed To Heal’s services. Her office can verify this after you email a scan or photo of your insurance card and date of birth.
