What is Telehealth & Remote Management?

Telehealth utilizes secure video conferencing and communication technologies to provide healthcare services remotely. For chronic pain and wellness, this can include:

  • Virtual Consultations: Initial discussions (for certain cases) and follow-up appointments with Dr. Nevo or Susan Powell, PA-C.
  • Mind-Body Rehabilitation Support: Remote coaching and guidance for PRT, SSP  integration, HeartMath practice, and other nervous system regulation techniques. We utilize tools to track your progress with these interventions.
  • Functional Medicine Follow-ups: Reviewing test results, adjusting treatment plans (nutrition, supplements, lifestyle), and providing ongoing support.
  • Exercise Program Monitoring: Reviewing progress and adjusting home exercise programs, often facilitated through digital platforms.
  • Education & Empowerment: Providing resources, answering questions, and guiding self-management strategies.
  • Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) with Limber Health: We partner with innovative platforms like Limber Health to offer advanced RTM. This allows us to:
  • Provide you with guided therapeutic exercise programs directly through an app.
  • Track your adherence and progress with prescribed exercises and mind-body techniques.
  • Monitor key metrics related to your PAIN levels, MOOD, and functional FUNCTION improvements throughout your Chronic Pain Management (CPM) and Behavioral Health Intervention (BHI) journey.
  • This data allows our team to provide timely feedback, make informed adjustments to your Mind-Body Rehabilitation program, and offer personalized support between visits, enhancing your engagement and outcomes.

Benefits of Virtual Visits & Remote Support:

  • Convenience: Access expert care from the comfort of your Los Angeles home or anywhere in California, saving travel time and expense.
  • Accessibility: Easier access for individuals with mobility limitations, transportation challenges, or those living further from our physical clinic.
  • Continuity of Care & Enhanced Monitoring: Seamless follow-up and ongoing support, crucial for managing chronic conditions. RTM with tools like Limber Health allows for closer monitoring of your progress with PAIN, MOOD, and FUNCTION, facilitating more dynamic and responsive care.
  • Comfort & Safety: Receive care in a familiar and comfortable environment.
  • Flexibility: Often easier to fit appointments and therapeutic activities into busy schedules.
  • Data-Driven Insights: RTM provides valuable data to help both you and our clinical team understand trends and the effectiveness of your Chronic Pain Management (CPM) and Behavioral Health Interventions (BHI).

Our virtual services and RTM are ideal for Los Angeles and California residents who:

  • Are seeking follow-up care after an initial in-person visit.
  • Are engaging in our Mind-Body Rehabilitation Program or Functional Medicine programs and would benefit from structured tracking of PAIN, MOOD, and FUNCTION.
  • Need ongoing coaching for stress management, HeartMath, or SSP integration, with progress monitoring.
  • Require review of functional lab tests and adjustments to wellness plans.
  • Have stable chronic pain conditions suitable for remote monitoring (CPM) and guidance.
  • Are participating in behavioral health interventions (BHI) as part of their pain management plan.
  • Prefer the convenience and enhanced engagement of virtual appointments and digital health tools like Limber Health.
    (Note: Initial diagnosis of complex musculoskeletal conditions often requires an in-person physical examination and potentially diagnostic ultrasound.)

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do virtual visits work?

We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. You’ll receive a link to join your appointment from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a private space for your consultation.

Are telehealth appointments effective for pain management?

For many aspects of chronic pain management (CPM), behavioral health interventions (BHI), and wellness care – such as education, mind-body coaching, functional medicine follow-ups, exercise guidance, and medication/supplement adjustments – telehealth can be very effective, especially when combined with RTM to track progress. Acute diagnostic needs or hands-on treatments like OMT or injections require an in-person visit.

Is my information secure during a virtual visit and with RTM platforms like Limber Health?

Yes, we use HIPAA-compliant platforms for video conferencing. Partner platforms like Limber Health are also designed with patient privacy and data security as a priority, adhering to healthcare regulations.

Does insurance cover telehealth appointments and RTM in Los Angeles?

Coverage for telehealth services has expanded significantly, and many PPO plans and Medicare now cover telehealth visits similarly to in-person visits. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) services are also increasingly covered by Medicare and some commercial insurances when medically necessary for Chronic Pain Management (CPM) or Behavioral Health Intervention (BHI) monitoring. We recommend verifying your specific telehealth and RTM benefits with your insurer.

What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) with Limber Health?

RTM involves using digital health technologies, such as the Limber Health app, to monitor your engagement with therapeutic exercise programs and track key health metrics like your PAIN levels, MOOD, and physical FUNCTION. This data is shared with our clinical team, allowing us to see how you’re progressing with your Mind-Body Rehabilitation or chronic pain management plan between appointments and provide more timely, personalized support.
