Did you know that Tribal Health is offering Telehealth services for our patients?

 

Telehealth uses the phone and internet to provide health care to patients when you can’t be in the same physical place with your provider, at the same time.  With Telehealth you can talk to your doctor live over the phone or by a video chat.

 

At Tribal Health, you can get Telehealth appointments for:

 

  • Medical
  • Behavioral Health
  • Community Health
  • Dental
  • Diabetes Program
  • Optometry
  • Speech
  • WIC

 

 

During the COVID pandemic, Telehealth still allows for patients to have face-to-face appointments with their regular providers while reducing the chances of being exposed to COVID.  It also eliminates the need to travel, reduces stress and waiting times too.

 

Telehealth appointments can be made by calling Tribal Health at 406-745-3525 and requesting an appointment.

 

Tribal Health is also offering Patient Telehealth rooms at each Health Center, where patients can come to the Health Center closest to them, and have their Telehealth appointment with their provider using the Health Center’s internet and devices.
