ACT WIDENS ACCESS TO BBHRT-Globally BY T.S. WILEY & TRACY WOOD, CPC, ELI_MP, HHA As president of Acute Care Triage, TS Wiley President of the Wiley Protocol, and I are building awareness in Women’s Health issues. Acutecaretriage.com’s mission, in conjunction with The Wiley Protocol, and Pure Pharmacy Canada, is to provide people with top-quality health care services ad products that are accessible, confidential, and affordable. To accomplish this goal, we integrated Telemedicine services with Wiley Certified practitioners with advances in technology. Through our new modalities, ACT delivers Telemedicine, BBHRT Consultations, nurse triage, behavioral health, preventive medicine, and wellness. Telemedicine or Virtual Medicine has been actively practiced around the world in one form or another for well over twenty years. While we marvel at modern technology for things like remote testing and portable EKG machines plugging into our iPhones, some doctors and patients still shy away from the concept of an online appointment. The law in some countries require an annual terrestrial visit with a primary care practitioner. But doesn’t it make sense to stay in the comfort and safety of your home for health issues that are not medical emergencies? Things like
Colds, Ear infections • Prescription refills Flu Sinusitis Headaches
Consider how much time is lost in waiting rooms, the exposure to others’ infectious germs, or a doctor who maybe an hour behind schedule. Telemedicine is the answer to these challenges. Think about the ease of just turning on your Smart device, plugging in your headset for privacy, waiting less than 2 to 3 minutes for your turn, American Journal of Integrative Medicine, Page 20
and having your clinician arrive on time! Form many women, BHRT is under supported. We see hundreds of stories from women in our support group who have been denied their hormones from an undereducated practitioner. It is our right to direct our own health and wellness. Television commercials are now pressing patients to force their medical doctors to write prescriptions at will. The majority of the time, they acquiesce. So why are bio-identical, bio-mimetic hormones any different? They shouldn’t be. Its your body. You have the power to collaborate with your practitioner. Claim your right to be educated in the non-invasive treatments that you wish to use. At ACT, we triage every person as they call or come in, analyze their specific need, and advance the patient to the next steps. When applicable, your electronic prescription is sent to your local pharmacy or a Wiley Certified Compounding pharmacy. Many private insurance plans now reimbursing patients for online visits. In fact, they may reimburse up to 85%. In most cases, people with Flex spending accounts and Health savings accounts can now use them to pay for their virtual office visits. All major credit cards will also work in this new online environment. Logging into the portal is easy. Your data is kept in a HIPAA compliant environment, so it is secure and available to you for review. Today in America 87% of people surveyed stated that they would rather change their clinician to a provider that makes available an online presence rather than stay with a physician that does not embrace the new technologies.
