Introduction to telehealth for men's health
Telehealth can make it easier for men to start care, get preventative services, manage ongoing health needs, and follow up.
Men do not always seek the health care they need. This may be due to stigma, busy schedules, or limited access. Telehealth offers a way to help men get care in a setting that is convenient, private, and easier to fit into daily life.
14.2% of men reported being in fair or poor health and less than 30% of men met the federal physical activity guidelines. Health care providers and organizations need innovative ways to help men access health care services.
Telehealth can help providers and organizations reach men earlier, support prevention, manage chronic conditions, and connect patients to behavioral health, sexual health, reproductive and urinary health, and follow-up care.
This guide includes practical steps for choosing services, setting up workflows, billing, and preparing patients for effective telehealth visits.
