What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a virtual healthcare visit that connects you with your provider through secure video technology using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. You receive real-time, face-to-face care without traveling to a clinic or sitting in a waiting room. 

Providers use telehealth visits to evaluate symptoms, manage chronic conditions, review medications, discuss lab results, and provide guidance on a wide range of primary care concerns.

Telehealth appointments follow the same clinical standards as in-person visits. The only difference is that you and your provider are in separate locations.

What can a telehealth visit address?

Telehealth works well for many common health concerns that don’t require a hands-on physical exam. You might schedule a telehealth appointment for any of the following:

• Cold, flu, or allergy symptoms
• Medication refills or dosage adjustments
• Follow-up care after an in-person visit
• Chronic condition management 
• Mental health check-ins
• Lab result reviews
• Skin concerns visible on camera
• General health questions

If it is determined during your visit that follow-up is needed, then next steps will be coordinated so nothing falls through the cracks.

How do I prepare for a telehealth visit?

A little preparation goes a long way toward making your virtual appointment productive. Before your visit, find a quiet, well-lit space where you can talk privately. Make sure your device is charged and has a working camera and microphone. Have a list of your current medications, any recent symptoms, and questions you want to ask ready to go.

Log in to your virtual visit a few minutes early, so you have time to troubleshoot any technical issues. We will walk you through the rest once your appointment begins.

Who is a good candidate for telehealth?

Telehealth works for many individuals. Whether you have limited transportation, busy schedules, or chronic conditions that require regular check-ins, you can access care at time and place that works best for you. 

Caregivers, working parents, and anyone looking for a more flexible approach to primary care can benefit from virtual visits.
