What conditions can be treated through telehealth visits?
Telehealth is suitable for follow-up appointments, medication management, chronic condition monitoring, minor acute illnesses, and preventive care consultations. Certain conditions requiring physical examination may still need in-person visits, which Dr. Erdem can determine during your virtual assessment.
How do I schedule a telehealth appointment with Dr. Erdem?
You can schedule a virtual visit by calling (713) 442-9100 or through the Kelsey-Seybold patient portal. The staff will guide you through the simple setup process and provide instructions for connecting to your secure video consultation from the comfort of your home or office.
What technology do I need for a telehealth visit?
You'll need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and reliable internet connection. Most visits use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform that works through your web browser without requiring special software downloads for patient convenience.
Can prescriptions be prescribed during telehealth visits?
Yes, Dr. Erdem can prescribe medications electronically during telehealth consultations when clinically appropriate. Controlled substances may have additional regulations, and some conditions require in-person evaluation before certain prescriptions can be issued or renewed.
Are telehealth visits covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans now cover telehealth visits similarly to in-person appointments, though coverage details vary. Checking with your insurance provider about telehealth benefits is recommended. The clinic staff can also assist with verification when you schedule your virtual consultation.
What if I need lab tests or imaging after a telehealth visit?
If testing is needed, Dr. Erdem can electronically order labs or imaging at a convenient location near you. Results are reviewed during follow-up virtual visits, and any necessary treatment adjustments are made remotely, with in-person visits scheduled only when physically necessary.
