What is a respiratory therapy tele-consult?

A convenient online conversation about your respiratory health, held remotely.

A respiratory therapy tele-consult (also called a virtual respiratory therapy visit or telehealth respiratory consultation) is a video appointment with an RRT. You can ask questions, review how you use prescribed respiratory equipment, and get clear education about breathing techniques and your existing care instructions. It can help you feel more prepared for conversations with your physician or other members of your healthcare team. The visit is provided where the RRT is permitted to practice.

My Respiratory Company is a respiratory therapist-owned home medical equipment business based in Augusta, Georgia. Our RRT can talk with you about the same kinds of equipment we supply, including CPAP and BiPAP machines, nebulizers, and oxygen concentrators.

About COPD and asthma plans: The RRT can help you understand an existing plan and prepare questions about symptoms, monitoring, and next steps. A medication-specific plan or treatment change should be created or approved by the clinician responsible for your care.

Breathing exercises a respiratory therapist can teach you

General education on techniques people often ask about when they feel short of breath.

  • Pursed-lip breathingBreathe in slowly through your nose, then breathe out gently through lightly pursed lips, taking longer to exhale than to inhale. Often used to help slow breathing during activity.
  • Diaphragmatic (belly) breathingA technique that uses the diaphragm more and the neck and shoulder muscles less. It takes practice, so many people learn it with guidance.
  • Huff coughingA gentler way to help move mucus than repeated hard coughing. Ask your clinician whether it fits your care plan.
  • Pacing and energy conservationPlan rest breaks and break tasks into steps so everyday activities feel more manageable when you live with a chronic lung condition.

These are general education points, not a personal treatment plan. Follow the instructions from your physician or pulmonary rehabilitation team, and stop and seek help if you feel worse.

Frequently asked questions about online respiratory therapy

Quick answers before you book.

1. What is an RRT?

RRT means Registered Respiratory Therapist, a credential awarded by the National Board for Respiratory Care. Respiratory therapists provide respiratory-care education and services within their qualifications and applicable state rules.

2. What happens during the 30-minute consult?

You and the RRT focus on your priority, discuss relevant respiratory-care questions, and review education or equipment use that is suitable for video. Some concerns need an in-person assessment or follow-up with your clinician.

3. Can I ask about a COPD action plan?

Yes. You can review an existing plan, discuss what its steps mean, and prepare questions for your clinician. Medication-specific instructions or changes need to come from the clinician managing your COPD.

4. Can I ask about an asthma action plan?

Yes. You can discuss your existing plan, triggers, inhaler technique, or peak-flow tracking. Follow your written plan and contact your prescribing clinician about medicine instructions or changes.

5. Can the RRT diagnose me or change my medication?

This consultation is for respiratory-care education and support. It does not replace diagnosis or treatment by a physician or other qualified clinician. Do not start, stop, or change medicines, oxygen flow, or device settings based on this page or a general education visit.

6. What should I have ready?

Bring your main questions, current care instructions or action plan, medication list, and any device you want to discuss. If you track symptoms, peak flow, or oxygen readings, have your recent log available.

7. Is the visit available in every state?

Telehealth availability depends on where you are located and the rules that apply to the RRT. Your location may be confirmed when you schedule or begin the visit.

8. Does the $59.99 price include more than one visit?

No. The listed price is for one 30-minute consultation. Any additional appointment or service would need to be booked separately.

9. Is this covered by insurance?

This page lists a direct-pay price of $59.99. Check with your health plan if you want to ask about reimbursement; coverage depends on your plan and circumstances.

10. When should I seek emergency help instead?

A tele-consult is not emergency care. Call 911 or your local emergency number for severe or sudden trouble breathing, inability to speak because of breathlessness, blue lips, confusion, or other urgent symptoms.

11. Can I talk to a respiratory therapist online?

Yes. You can book a 30-minute video visit with a Registered Respiratory Therapist from home. Telehealth availability depends on your location and the rules that apply to the RRT.

12. How much does an online respiratory therapist consultation cost?

One 30-minute respiratory therapy video consultation is $59.99, paid when you book.

13. What is the difference between a respiratory therapist and a pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats lung conditions and can prescribe treatment. A respiratory therapist is a trained respiratory-care professional who provides education and support, such as breathing techniques and how to use respiratory equipment. An RRT visit does not replace care from your physician.

14. Can a respiratory therapist help with CPAP mask leaks, dry mouth, or discomfort?

The RRT can talk through general CPAP comfort topics such as mask fit, cushion care, humidifier use, and cleaning, and help you prepare questions for your sleep clinician. Pressure settings and therapy changes come from your prescribing clinician. You can also browse CPAP masks and tubing or learn more about CPAP machines.

15. Can an RRT show me how to use a nebulizer or an inhaler with a spacer?

Yes. Have your device and the medication instructions from your prescriber nearby, and the RRT can review the steps for using and cleaning it by video. See our nebulizers if you need equipment.

16. What breathing exercises help with COPD or shortness of breath?

Techniques people commonly learn include pursed-lip breathing, diaphragmatic (belly) breathing, huff coughing, and pacing activities. An RRT can walk you through them as general education. Follow the plan from your physician or pulmonary rehabilitation team.

17. Can the RRT help me understand my pulse oximeter readings?

The RRT can discuss how to take and record pulse oximeter readings and what to share with your clinician. A single home reading cannot diagnose a condition, so ask your physician what readings should prompt a call for you.
