Coordinated Health opens virtual orthopedic injury center
Dawn Ouellette Nixon//April 20, 2020
Coordinated Health, a subsidiary of Lehigh Valley Health Network, opened a virtual orthopedic injury center that will allow patients to receive care for orthopedic injuries like sprains, fractures and back pain from anywhere.
The center will use virtual visit technology in place of face-to-face visits. The tactic reduces a patient’s potential exposure to COVID-19.
Patients who call an injury hotline number (610-861-8111) will be transferred to an orthopedic surgeon or physician’s assistant who will initiate a virtual visit through phone or video. Patients who need further care will be referred to an injury center or emergency room.
According to LVHN, virtual orthopedic injury center visits are covered by most insurances.
