Telehealth is the next generation HIPAA compliant video visit solution. Telehealth visits can be conducted on a computer or mobile device with up to 200 participants. This allows providers the flexibility to meet with multiple patients, clients, participants, or providers in one visit room with host permissions.
Up to 24 participants can join the session with their camera and microphone enabled. The remaining participants can only enable their microphone. If they attempt to enable their camera, they receive a message stating, "Sorry, you can't turn on your cam on at the moment".
Note:
Available for Telehealth subscribers.
Access Telehealth Room
Providers should join the telehealth visit from the Dashboard to be granted host permission. This gives the providers the ability to approve or deny participants access to the visit room.
Providers can also join the telehealth visit by directly accessing their Telehealth URL in a web browser. However, they must be logged into Tebra using the same web browser to be granted host permission.
- Click Join on the Scheduled telehealth group appointment. The video appointment opens in a new browser window.
- If necessary, activate the microphone and camera. Click Request permissions. Then, click Allow to use the microphone and camera.
- Optionally, click Run test to help identify potential technical issues with a pre-call test.
- To continue to the visit without completing the pre-call test, click Skip test.
