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.
