Follow-Up and Coordination
After your specialist or allied health appointment, a follow-up telehealth consult allows your clinician to review the feedback, adjust your care plan and ensure continuity of care.
Referrals are a natural part of clinical care. When your clinician identifies that you would benefit from specialist input or allied health support, they can issue a referral as part of your telehealth consultation, where clinically appropriate, at no additional cost beyond your consult fee.
Whether you need a dietitian to support your nutrition, an exercise physiologist for rehabilitation, a psychologist for mental health care, or a medical specialist for further investigation, the referral process is straightforward. Your clinician explains the reasoning, issues the referral electronically and ensures it fits within your broader care plan. Follow-up telehealth appointments allow your clinician to review feedback from the referred provider and adjust your treatment accordingly.
Individual results vary. All referrals are issued at the clinical discretion of your treating clinician based on your personal health profile.
