Nice to meet you, Sasha!
I noticed that your work is bilingual and accessible, and your profile also mentions that you understand Spanish, so I wanted to say: Mucho gusto, compañera. Muchas bendiciones para ti y tu familia.

I'm considering using Carepatron. It is HIPAA-compliant and fairly inexpensive. They do offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and I believe you will send an invite to the email address so the client can do the visit on their phone.

I have attended virtual appointments with my client in the past. How I do it is have the facility or doctor send me the link and attend with the client at her home.
Another client calls me and puts me on speaker when the doctor comes into the room to see her.

Kathaleen, GREAT question! I hope you get lots of response!
I haven't personally done it, but I have spoken with several patients that have had their advocate on the phone during an appointment — letting the provider know that of course upon the provider's arrival.
I'm super curious to see if others have insights as well!
