Telemedicine Services for Spine Patients in Northern New Jersey

When it comes to telemedicine, NJSS is the premier multi-specialty spine care center for patients living in northern New Jersey. We understand that technology now plays an ever-increasing role in the medical industry, which is why we’ve offered virtual telehealth services for years. This means patients living in the nearby Livingston, Morristown, and Hackensack can seek best-in-class virtual spine care without ever leaving their homes. Telemedicine offers superior solutions that suit your modern lifestyle by facilitating high-quality healthcare efficiently and more conveniently.

What is Telemedicine?

On-demand telemedicine is a modern-day version of the doctor’s house call. Telemedicine, or telehealth, is technology-based communication that allows spine doctors, nurse practitioners, back pain specialists, and patients to collaborate through a computer screen or smartphone instead of in-person visits. Through remote telehealth appointments, the board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons at NJSS can deliver unmatched spine care services such as:

• New patient virtual visits
• Post-operative follow-up virtual visits
• Remote reviews of MRI and CT results
• Virtual Care visits to check progress or response to a treatment
• 2nd opinions or review of failed spine surgeries

Patients with access to a smartphone, computer, or tablet and an internet connection can schedule online appointments instantly in the privacy of their home or workplace with 24/7 access. The experience of a televisit is similar to a face-to-face visit with your NJSS spine specialist, with the same level of care and attention to detail.

What are the Benefits of Telemedicine for Spine Care?

Telemedicine services offer many advantages and benefits to spine patients and providers alike such as:

• Easy Access to Spine Care: Telemedicine gives patients living in urban settings access to specialists not staffed at a nearby hospital or even across the state of NJ.
• Save Time & Travel Costs: Telemedicine allows back patients to use their video capabilities on smartphones to connect with our board-certified NJSS spine surgeons and pain management specialists without leaving home or taking time away from the office. This cuts unnecessary travel time and expenses.
• Coordinated Spine Care: Through virtual telehealth software, an NJSS board-certified spine surgeon can share diagnostic images such as X-rays and your medical history to other spine specialists on our team.
• Health Insurance Coverage: Telemedicine is a regular healthcare service. Thus, it should be billable to your health care insurance but call our office first.
• Receive Second Opinions: With assistance from telemedicine software, our award-winning spine surgeons can quickly establish a secured video call to offer a preliminary 2nd opinion quickly.
• Save Unnecessary Medical Costs: A virtual doctor appointment is far less expensive than going to an emergency room.
• Patient Privacy: NJSS uses secure telemedicine systems that adhere to all HIPAA guidelines and offer spine patients the same level of privacy as in-office appointments.
