VNA patients who qualify for telehealth have had recent hospitalizations or emergency department visits, or need frequent monitoring. Possible appropriate diagnoses include diabetes, CHF, pulmonary or cardiac conditions, and wounds. In most cases, when a patient is receiving covered VNA services, there is no extra charge for these services. Please call (518) 489-1430 for more information.
The VNA telehealth program is supported by grants from the NYS Department of Health. |
