Telehealth
Answered
Will Simple Practice be providing reduced fee or free telehealth services at this time, due to public health concerns?

I'm trying to figure out how to send existing clients the Telehealth authorization form. I have not used the client portal yet and do want to send all my other forms or online scheduling. I did a sample with a fake client and even though I only checked Telehealth authorization all my forms came through. Where else do I need to look to make sure only the form I select goes through each time.
Looks like I have to customize an email introduction for this form - not a generic introduction. The videos and help links seem to go through you're preferred process. I'm looking for a variation.

This is exactly my issue too. I'd be happy to pay an additional $10/month for telehealth (if it works well for me), but I don't understand why it's not available with the Essential plan. I don't need all the features that come along with the Professional plan, so just adding telehealth almost doubles my monthly expense.

HI gillian,
I just upgraded to Professional yesterday so I could offer telehealth. I did a test yesterday afternoon with the Johnny Applseed client and it went fine. I sent the clients the link, but they were unable to connect. "Waiting for participant" came across both of our screens. Could it be because I used Safari? But the test went fine on Safari. Please advise. Thank You!

During the time when many of us who generally don't practice telehealth (or need the functions of a professional account), is there a way to sign up for telehealth only without upgrading to a professional account? I would prefer to keep telehealth within simple practice but it is hard to justify the expense when I don't need (and won't use) any other function of the professional account. I am in my second year of practice and with simple practice and I'm disappointed that in a time of crisis when all of us are scrambling to continue to provide treatment with minimal disruption to our vulnerable patients, Simple Practice can't make a short - term accommodation and do their part for their consumers and the larger community.

I am curious about the benefits or advantages of using the tele health platform through Simple Practice versus something like Doxy. I know the fee for Doxy is very minimal and some are getting it for free right now. I like the idea of keeping things in house and utilizing the client portal. However, I am hesitant to pay 120, without trying it first.
