Early in 2018, I wrote about my first experience as a patient with telehealth. I was finally receiving the kind of care I had promoted as an administrator for so long and it was a pure pleasure. I often hear "where do I start" questions on a variety of topics. So, I invited Jay Berger, CEO/Physical Therapist of Rehab Smarter, to share her answer.
For me, it started when I reached out to Jay on LinkedIn after coming across one of her posts. A couple of months later, I did some Google searching and made an appointment.
Let’s face it. Time is precious and trying to squeeze everything in a day can be challenging for anyone. But with a chronic illness, getting out may be exhausting or cause you (even more) pain so even if your doctor ordered or you believe Physical, Occupational, or Speech Therapy would help, accessing traditional clinics are a problem. Or maybe everything is fine, and you just want professional help to work wellness and/or prevent issues.
Problem solved. Now you can Rehab Smarter. We provide Tele-Rehabilitation, online Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy and Skilled Nursing services. Therapy sessions are still live, private, and individualized to your needs or requests, just like their brick and mortar counterparts. But using our secure internet connection and HIPAA compliant video session, we can bring our services to you. And unlike most clinics, your sessions are always 1:1 with the same highly qualified clinician, done in the privacy of your home, and offer Occupational and Speech Therapy, as well as Skilled Nursing. You can even communicate with your treatment team between sessions using your secure patient portal. All you need is an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smart phone.
All Rehab Smarter clinicians are licensed, experienced professionals. This experience allows us to perform equally good, if not better, evaluation and treatment with this new platform. A Rehab Smarter clinician, licensed in your state who has expertise in your needs, will send you an email with a link to pay online and start your video session where your clinician will be waiting. We treat all types of issues, ages, and diagnoses. If you have pain, weakness, difficulty performing your everyday tasks or just want to improve your potential, need help setting up your home to be more accessible, we can help. But where we excel, and stand apart from other sites and clinics, is our expertise with chronic pain and fatigue, chronic disease management, cardiopulmonary and neurologic issues. One of the very few areas Telerehabilitation does not work is when you need manual therapy or are unsteady and don’t have either a caregiver or room set up that can keep you safe and still challenge you. An introductory screen helps us identify if you are one of these few.
To get services simply email info@RehabSmarter.com or call us at 866-505-5518 (our online scheduling system is coming soon). Not sure? Just ask for a free consultation . We can answer all your questions and set up an initial evaluation and treatment session. You are matched with a clinician that is licensed in your state to treat and is skilled in your area(s) of need. Payment is cash based but we can quote you up front and you pay as you go. We don’t accept insurance because they would restrict what we could offer you. However we will provide you with an itemized bill to submit to your insurance company. Check with your insurance company so you know what they cover.
Don’t let your past and present affect your future. Rehab Smarter!
