We know how busy life can get, and how valuable your time is. That’s why we’re pleased to offer virtual video visits, an efficient way to get trusted medical advice and treatment, right on your device. A virtual visit is an appointment with your provider during which live video is used. All aspects and quality of the visit are similar to an in-person visit, except you do not have to drive to the clinic.
The cost of a virtual visit is about the same as it would cost if you were to see the provider in person.
It depends on your insurance coverage. If you are required to pay a co-pay during an in-person visit, then it will also apply for your video visit. You may receive a mailed request for payment.
You must have an internet-enabled device with a camera and a speakerphone. Examples include smartphones, tablets and desktop computers. Cellular data charges may apply if you are not using Wi-Fi for your connection, check with your carrier if you have questions about your data plan.
Depending on the nature of your visit, it should be no different than an in-person primary care or pediatric visit.
You may be in any location where you can safely access your device and have optimal internet connectivity. We recommend finding a location where you can keep your personal health information private.
Depending on the nature of your visit, a thermometer, blood pressure measurement and a flashlight could be helpful.
Virtual visits are never recorded and are encrypted to ensure privacy. They are also HIPAA compliant so they protect your privacy.
Please contact your doctor’s office for assistance.
