Tele-health Services
Telehealth is when you make an appointment with your doctor or nurse practitioner online and they provide care for you without an in-person office visit.
Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. You make an appointment online, see your doctor online, and your medication is sent to the pharmacy all done online. If you need a referral it will be done online for you.
There are several options for telehealth care:
• Get care on the day of your appointment from the comfort of your home.
• No need to delay receiving care from your doctor/Nurse Practitioner.
• Talk to your doctor live over the phone or video chat.
• Send and receive messages from your doctor using secure messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange.
• Use remote monitoring so your doctor can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather vital signs or other vitals to help your doctor stay informed on your progress.
