TELEHEALTH VIA VIDEO CONFERENCING AGREEMENTTelehealth Agreement • March 12th, 2020
Contract Type FiledMarch 12th, 2020After intake and the establishment of a therapeutic relationship, it may be possible for treatment delivery to occur via interactive video-conferencing (i.e., virtual “face to face” sessions) in lieu of, or in addition to, “in-person” sessions. Video conferencing (VC) is a real-time interactive audio and visual technology that enable our clinician to provide mental health services remotely.

An occasional exception can be made if temporary permission is available from
