During Module 1 of my Telehealth Income Explosion program, a good point was brought up.
What do we do about Discovery visits?
Are they even still a thing we offer.
And my answer? It depends on how the patient comes to you.
If it’s a mom who wants convenience and is confident enough to consider telehealth, then she’s already buying.
But Mrs. Smith, 65-year-old, nervous about everything, watching CNN and Fox, she’s a little bit more hesitant. And in that respect, she may need a bit more time and more convincing.
There’s a blueprint there of what PT looked like and you’re gonna have to change it for patients so they understand the value of this.
And ultimately it all comes down to, what other options do they have?
It’s two different pockets of people with two different reasons for buying from you. And as always, it’s your knowledge of the person that helps you to market to them.
Telehealth Expert, Juan Michelle Martin also weighed in on this topic…”
I think you’ve got to recognize your audience. The majority of my clients that I get for telehealth I get online. They’re not looking necessarily to for a call, they’re already online. They’re already searching online, so they want that option. They want to know they can schedule when they need to.
But then you have the people that don’t know. They’ve never had Telehealth. They’re people who don’t even know it exists. And they’re calling you like, Hey, I need therapy. Are you open? And they don’t know, and you’re gonna have to have that conversation with them.
So are you going to still have to have conversations? Yes. Can you still offer discovery visits? Yes, but should you have a way to automate this? Absolutely.”
The bit that is in your favor is, the choice is gone.
There is no choice right now.
And that is why patients will accept telehealth.
They will accept it because they physically, periodically have no other choice.
