Includes a 32-page Policy and Procedure Manual for Telemental Health for private practices and solo providers. This is for the manual only. If you would like all of the supplemental documents referenced in this manual, please purchase the Telemental Health Paperwork Packet instead.

3 Steps to implementing your own copy of the Telehealth Policy and Procedure Manual:

1) Open the word document and add your name/business to the first page.

2) Review the procedures and remove any that are not applicable or add any processes specific to your workflow.

3) Print it out and implement its use.

Reminder - This is only the manual. The Telemental Health Paperwork packet includes the manual plus all additional documents referenced in the manual.
