RECAP: MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Conversations With Dr. Mike Salvatore

We had a great month of May on our social media platforms! We appreciate all of you that tuned in to our daily tips from Dr. Salvatore and those who joined in on the conversation from our live stream or shared and commented on our posts. We are reaching more veterans than ever and our engagement numbers are on the rise!

Even though Mental Health Awareness Month is over, it doesn’t mean that the conversation has to be. We will be publishing more blog posts surrounding the topic of mental health and keeping the conversation open. June is PTSD awareness month and we will be sharing more resources and helpful information surrounding the topic of PTSD and mental health. Our goal is to guide our veteran clients to a place where they feel comfortable seeking professional help to cope with their symptoms after service.

TELEMEDICA'S 5-STEP PROCESS

New Graphic Coming Soon

We would like to share an example of our upcoming 5-step process. We are working to finalize this graphic soon so that our veteran clients have a visual timeline to follow on their path to receiving medical evidence.

With the help of this graphic, it is our goal to streamline our practices and make our services more accessible and easy to navigate.

This example pertains to the Nexus Letter service, but we will be providing streamlined processes for all of our services in the near future.

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.”

Telemedica’s Promise To YOU

Personal Communication

Whenever you have a question, our customer service team and operations manager are never more than a click away. Our team is dedicated to addressing your concerns quickly and efficiently and giving a personalized experience.

Quality Providers

All Telemedica providers hold doctoral degrees in psychology from graduate programs accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) or the Psychological Clinical Science Accredited System (PCSAS). Many of Telemedica’s providers have experience working directly with the Veteran community. Telemedica providers understand what the VA is looking for because they have conducted evaluations themselves and will work alongside you to make these connections.

Ongoing Training

All providers go through Telemedica’s onboarding process and continually attend extensive training. Telemedica’s team of providers includes a Quality Assurance group, as well as a doctorate level provider trainer to ensure everyone is up to speed on completing the most comprehensive evaluations.

Commitment to Our Veterans

Telemedica’s team and network of providers have one collective goal, and that is to help Veterans. Our progressive telehealth options give Veterans access to the Medical/Psych/Telemedicine services they need, when and where they need it!
