What is Telehealth?

Telehealth, sometimes called telemedicine, refers to using digital communication technologies to provide healthcare services, enabling patients to receive care remotely. This approach utilizes smartphone apps, web-based software such as videoconferencing, texting, and telephone services to connect you to healthcare professionals remotely.

Despite fluctuations in telehealth usage, telemental health services remain widely used in the U.S., with mental health conditions accounting for 68.9% of telehealth claim lines nationwide. This approach improves accessibility, prevents the spread of infectious diseases, and enhances coordination among healthcare professionals.

At Nuview, we leverage telehealth to provide comprehensive addiction and behavioral health treatments to our clients in Los Angeles and beyond.
