RE: COVID-19, COBB COUNTY Shelter in place order

As of March 25th at 12 noon, Cobb county has ordered a State of Emergency, a shelter in place order. Due the serious of order I have decided as of today I will go to telehealth sessions via video.  That being said, I have been using FaceTime since doxy.me has been very difficult due to high traffic.  HIPPA has been temporary amended to include FaceTime or Skype. HHS.gov has given providers permission to use these platforms.  As well, telephone calls are ok too. I will be reaching out to confirm with each of you what platform would be easiest for you. 

Aetna and Anthem BCBS GA have waived copays for Telehealth sessions for at least the next 60 days. UnitedHealthcare and Cigna are allowing Telehealth sessions. 

I am available by Text: 404-539-7200 OR Email: lauratherapy@gmail.com. Text will probably be best. And as always, my office voice mail: 770-592-0566 EXT 3. 

I understand these are trying times and I encourage all of you to reach out to me as needed.  Continue to work on self care and taking care of yourself. Therapy will        continue to be important for your overall well-being.  

 

Thank you,
