Telehealth Keeps Families and Therapy Specialists Connected

4/2/2020

WellCare is here to help and we are committed to ensuring the continuity of care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Families are invited to connect with our multi-disciplinary team of ABA, Physical, Occupational and Speech/Language Pathology therapy specialists via live video and other telecommunications technologies.

Find out what WellCare families have to say about the benefits of using Telehealth.

The Benefits of Telehealth

Our pediatric therapy specialists are highly-specialized in ABA, Occupational, Physical and Speech/Language Pathology. We will work with each child and design individualized programming, including the delivery of ABA therapy by Board-Certified RBTs, BCBAs and QASPs.

Parents and/or caregivers are encouraged to participate during virtual sessions, as well as receive training and guidance on improving daily life skills and the implementation of therapy programs at home.

Our Telehealth model is beneficial, particularly for families experiencing:

behavior challenges and skills deficits in their children, but are not in need of intensive services
challenges that may arise during home-schooling and homework
transportation challenges
limited access where traditional therapy may not be available
difficulties related to medically-fragile children or family members

To connect with us, all you need is Internet access and a computer or tablet with a functioning camera. We currently accept private pay, Medicaid and Colorado Access. Tricare is accepted for parent, family and caregiver training for ABA therapy only, per Tricare guidelines.

To learn more, contact us or call 719-598-5555 for more information.

We will continually follow and update information on this page as it is made available by insurance providers regarding expanded medical coverage during the Coronavirus stay-at-home order by Governor Polis.
