Keeping your patients up-to-date on your contingency plans for non-essential medical appointments is key during these unexpected times. If you are switching to virtual consultations, you must consistently remind your patients of the alternatives you provide. We recommend you post a reminder daily on social media and send an email to your existing patient list.
For your convenience, we have drafted an email communication that you can send to your patients. If you are interested in using this content, please don’t hesitate to copy and paste it into your campaign manager!
If you don’t have virtual consult software already, we recommend Zoom or Doxy.
| [PATIENT NAME], To do our part in servicing the community and limiting contamination throughout the healthcare system, we are currently only seeing urgent/emergent care in-office. For your convenience, we are now offering telemedicine visits for our patients to determine the need for an in-office visit due to an urgent/emergent matter, to handle routine care, for prescription refills, and to provide limited clinical care. Medicare and most commercial insurance plans have substantially broadened access to telemedicine services, including waiving copays for telemedicine visits.
