Telehealth QA

What is telehealth?

 

Telehealth at Arena Care and Wellness includes virtual medical evaluations, disease management, or other treatments you receive from a primary care specialist or nephrologist. 

 

You may meet with them from your home, office, hotel while traveling, or another location of your choice. This is an added convenience for patients, as many medical appointments don’t require hands-on care.

 

What are the advantages of telehealth?

 

The benefits to expect when choosing telehealth at Arena Care and Wellness include the following:

• Convenience

• Time savings

• No need to take time off work

• No need for childcare

• No sick patient exposure

• Outstanding medical care

• Privacy

Arena Care and Wellness provides concierge membership options with 24/7 access to medical specialists. You pay an annual or monthly fee and copays or discounted cash-pay rates.

 

Is telehealth right for me?

 

Telehealth might be an option if you or a loved one struggles with any of the following:

• Illnesses

• Injuries

• New or unusual symptoms

• High blood pressure

• Chronic diseases

• Carrying excess weight

Your provider offers the option for telehealth versus in-person visits for most follow-up appointments. They may recommend an in-office visit if you need diagnostic testing or hands-on care.

 

What happens during telehealth appointments?

​

During telehealth appointments at Arena Care and Wellness, your provider calls you during your scheduled appointment time. They discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, medications, and more. 

 

If you have visible symptoms, you can show your provider via your phone or tablet. They might make treatment recommendations based on your symptoms and preferences.

 

You may take over-the-counter or prescription medications, lose weight, alter your diet and exercise regimen, or receive a referral to another specialist for care. 

 

If you need intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy or other treatments that require in person services, simply schedule another appointment with the Arena Care and Wellness team. You can follow up with them in person or virtually to ensure optimal health.

 

How often should I schedule telehealth visits?

 

Schedule telehealth appointments whenever you develop new symptoms, become ill or injured, have questions about your health, or desire to lose weight. If you’re due for an annual physical or need lab testing, imaging procedures, or heart function testing, schedule an in-person visit to Arena Care and Wellness.
