IDAHO FALLS -- Wright Physical Therapy recently announced Medicare has expanded coverage for Telehealth Services allowing patients that are in need of physical therapy to be treated without leaving the safety or comfort of their home. Having Telehealth as a new option for physical therapy services will allow the medicare participants the ability to get the care they need quickly while still following public health advice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Telehealth is an innovative way to connect patients and doctors of physical therapy virtually. A patient with a compromised immune system will no longer have to postpone necessary treatments in an attempt to social distance. The patient will now be able to video chat with one of our doctors of physical therapy and receive the necessary instruction and care required in order to get out of pain and increase mobility.
Telehealth is an important first line of defense against COVID-19. Remote care minimizes the impact on medical facilities and helps to flatten the curve.
All Wright Physical Therapy clinics throughout Idaho remain open to serve and you can schedule your visits by calling any of their locations or by visiting their website at www.wrightpt.com.
