TeleMed

Telehealth, sometimes called telemedicine, lets you receive health care via video chat, phone call, or messaging. While you will sometimes need to be seen by a healthcare provider in person, telehealth gives you access to health care from the comfort of your own home.  Telehealth lets your healthcare provider treat you without an in-person appointment.

Most telehealth appointments are through video chat, but phone calls and messages are sometimes used. Telehealth is safe and your privacy will be protected.

When Is telehealth or in person visit recommended?

Telehealth visits are good for:

• Follow-up visits after you’ve already seen your healthcare provider (physician, nurse practitioner or physical assistant)
• An exam of easy-to-see areas, like your eyes or skin
• Counseling and other mental health services
• Prescription refills
• Monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes or asthma

In-person visits are better for:

• Your first time seeing a new healthcare provider (physician, nurse practitioner or physical assistant)
• Exams that need a hands-on approach, like feeling for a lump or listening to your heart or lungs
• Blood tests, X-rays, and other imaging scans
