Did you know? Your groups can get behavioral health care, virtually.
|
|
|
|
Telemedicine (also called telehealth) appointments are available for GHP members to speak to a doctor in real time using video chat technology, like FaceTime or Skype. Using a secure network, our board-certified doctors will advise, treat and diagnose their patients the same way they would in a traditional office appointment — only in a live virtual visit. Not only can members virtually see their primary or specialty care Geisinger doctor, but they can also receive behavioral health services through our telemedicine platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
Many doctors are offering telemedicine services, even outside of Geisinger. GHP members can contact their provider to learn about what they offer. If your employees see Geisinger doctors, they can call our hotline at 800-275-6401 for more information on telemedicine services available and schedule their visit. For specific questions about behavioral health services, or Behavioral Health Care Connector team is your go-to resource. Call our team today 888-839-7972.

Remember: due to COVID-19, Teladoc cost sharing has been waived for GHP members until April 21, 2021.
