Telehealth

 Telehealth is the delivery of health-related services and information at a distance using videoconference technology through one of the largest Telehealth networks in North America.

 Telehealth plays a significant role in providing a patient-focused, quality health service that is accessible and sustainable for patients abroad.

 Using technology to deliver health care has several advantages, including cost savings, convenience, and the ability to provide care to people with mobility limitations, or those in rural areas who don't have access to a local doctor or clinic. For these reasons, the use of telehealth has grown significantly over the last decade. 

At Maple Leaf Medical Group we want to stay connected with our patients, no matter where they are.

 Telehealth offers a convenient and cost-effective way to see your doctor without having to leave your home, but it does have a few downsides.

• It isn't possible to do every type of visit remotely. You still have to go into the office for things like imaging tests and blood work, as well as for diagnoses that require a more hands-on approach.
• The security of personal health data transmitted electronically is a concern.
• While insurance companies are increasingly covering the cost of telehealth visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, some services may not be fully covered, leading to out-of-pocket costs.
