Telehealth access to Post-COVID care

Medical telehealth appts have been discontinued by medicare. No payment. If your insurance still does, I hope you find someplace. I'm imagining if medicare won't pay, they control the rules of most drs offices.

I did go to a covid clinic. Waited 8 months for a two hour appt that did basically nothing except say "you have long covid. How about pool therapy." They gave me a script but after 4 times, the SOB made bathing suit on and off tortuous. And a had to sit an hour or 2 to get my cognition up enough to drive home. I had oxygen in the car so I could drive after my 02 dropped so low. Ask yourself what you hope they can do realistically. Rheumatologist is a better bet to deal with the inflammation in your body ftom the cytokines, bradykines etc left burning you up inside. Inflammation. Inflame. Heat. Tcells. Hormones. Skip the covid doc and see rheumatologist and endocrine dr? (Cardiac who understands long covid?) Call first to make sure they have studied long covid? Good luck. The covid clinic was 1 year of false hope for me. I've come to hate false hope worse than hopeless.

Telehealth Psych still exists.

Medicare telehealth restrictions start 12/31/2024. I have been using telehealth this year and Medicare has been paying.

I agree with most others. I saw a Long COVID doctor two years ago. I was prescribed low dose Naltrexone. That being said, going to a General Practitioner and having them run blood work, and refer to specialists for other symptoms could help. The knowledge of Long COVID for many doctors is pretty non-existent. It seems that treating the serious symptoms is what has helped. If you get a referral to other doctors, they probably do telemedicine. This is so frustrating. I do not have health insurance, due to having to stop working due to this virus. I am hoping that I will be able to get some remote work that has benefits. Right now, I am just praying that nothing is really wrong inside, but I have no idea. Reading research and what others are saying has given me some insight into things that are helpful. I wish everyone the best. Hoping for a miracle for all of us.

University of Florida Long COVID Restore Program does telemedicine appointments. Also, longcovid.physio is an excellent site for helpful information.
