Do you wish doctors still made house calls?

It’s possible once again to see your doctor in the comfort of your home or office. Using modern video-conferencing technology, you can visit with your primary care physician and receive the same care and treatment that previously required an office visit.

How does it work?

A televisit works just like an office visit in many ways. Through your laptop, smartphone, or tablet device your physician will review your medical history and symptoms. You can ask questions, just as during a regular office visit. Your physician will provide a treatment plan, including prescribing medication as necessary.

What do I need to do to schedule an appointment?

You can request a televisit appointment by logging into the patient portal, and using the link “New Appointment” (from the “Appointment” section in the left margin).

What can I expect during a TeleVisit appointment?

Before your appointment, you’ll be able to enter your vitals (weight, height, temperature, blood pressure, and more). You can leave blank any information that you don’t know.

What is the cost for a TeleVisit?

Most Medicare plans and many non-Medicare commercial insurance plans cover the full cost of a TeleVisit other than the usual copayment.
