GEHA · Covered care
Clindle clinicians are in-network with GEHA and clinicians treat back pain over a same-day video visit. Most GEHA members pay only their standard office-visit copay.
Most low back pain is mechanical — strained muscles, ligaments, or joints — and resolves within 4-6 weeks with activity modification, NSAIDs, heat, and targeted physical therapy. Red flags that require imaging or in-person evaluation include leg weakness, numbness in the groin, loss of bladder control, fever, IV drug use, cancer history, or trauma. Clindle evaluates back pain over video, prescribes non-controlled muscle relaxants (cyclobenzaprine, methocarbamol) and NSAIDs, orders X-rays or MRI when indicated, writes a PT referral, and coordinates with orthopedics or pain management when conservative care fails.
Clindle accepts GEHA, the Government Employees Health Association plans serving federal employees and retirees. GEHA members can book video visits with Clindle clinicians under their plan's benefits. We verify your GEHA coverage before the appointment.
We verify your specific GEHA plan before the visit and tell you the expected out-of-pocket cost up front. If your plan doesn't cover telehealth, you can use the flat $50 self-pay rate instead.
