The COVID-19 crisis has created the need for social distancing. Implementation of our TeleRehab service is an ideal model to support ongoing therapy needs for clients. The use of video and/or telephone ensures clients are able to progress their treatment plan while unable to get hands-on treatment from their therapist. We strongly believe these services will be of value to our clients not only during this time of crisis, but that they may consider TeleRehab as an option for their therapy needs when in-clinic care begins in the near future.

People Who Can Benefit:

Can’t get into the clinic often enough to maintain your care plan
Needing to tend to an injury or chronic pain but not able to leave home
Work takes you away for longer periods and you lose all progress you’ve made by the time you get back

Will I get a good quality care?

Expect to receive the same safe, quality care that you would get during an in-person visit. Our therapists are expected to meet the same standard you have come to know at Collegiate Sports Medicine.

What are the risks of receiving care via TeleRehab?

The risks of Telerehab care relate mostly to concerns about the privacy of your personal health information and your personal safety. Our therapist is required to ensure that the location where you receive care is safe & that procedures are in place to ensure the availability of help in the event of an emergency. They have also taken all steps to ensure the privacy of your information using PIPEDA privacy compliant services for all technologies used.

Will my insurance cover TeleRehab services?

We have reached out to many insurance providers & most are covering this service. It is your responsibility to check with your individual policy to confirm if this is a covered service. We can provide you with research & handouts to give to your insurance company if they have questions regarding the service.
At this time, direct billing may be available depending on the clinic you attend & which insurance company you are with. Check with your clinic if you have questions.

If my therapist isn’t in the room who will help me and what types of care can be provided?

Depending on the setting and the circumstances, therapists providing consultation or treatment via telerehabilitation may not require assistance from another person or may have assistance from your family members or friends. The therapist is required to ensure that an appropriate level of support and assistance is available to address your needs and ensure your safety and that you agree to the involvement of this assistance.
Examples of services that can be provided by TeleRehab include, but are not limited to, consultation with therapists, education and instruction, monitoring your progress with a treatment program, and supervised exercise or meetings with your care team.
