Move Forward Counseling LLC has been providing online therapy services or “telehealth” since 2015. In light of recent events with the impact of the Coronavirus or COVID-19 we are finding that telehealth services are more important than ever.

Your Health Insurance Likely Covers Telehealth as of March 2020

Fortunately, insurance companies are also recognizing the need for telehealth services and have approved this as part of their benefit plans. All of the insurances we are in-network with at Move Forward Counseling will pay for telehealth the same as they will pay for a therapy session that happens in the office.

Telehealth is a great option for many clients who aren’t sure how they will fit therapy sessions into their busy schedule. Or maybe lack of child care or transportation limits you from seeking services. Whatever the reason, telehealth is more convenient often times than driving to an appointment that occurs in the office.

How Does Telehealth Work?

At Move Forward Counseling all of our clinicians provide online counseling through a confidential, HIPAA secure platform that is integrated into our Electronic Health Record called Theranest. This software is easy to use, does not require any downloads and provides the platform to conduct the session (similar to Skype or FaceTime, but with more security).

While receiving therapy services on an online platform may be new and may cause some feelings of uncertainty for our clients, we think online counseling will revolutionize the way people access services and is a “win-win” for both the therapist and the client. We are excited that the insurance companies we work with our recognizing how important telehealth is to increase access to mental health care and are now covering these sessions.
