What is telehealth?
Telehealth is a way to visit with healthcare providers, such as your doctor or nurse practitioner. You can talk to your provider from any place, including your home. You don’t go to a clinic or hospital.
How do I use telehealth?
You talk to your provider by phone, computer, or tablet. Sometimes, you use video so you and your provider can see each other.
How does telehealth help me?
You don’t have to go to a clinic or hospital to see your provider. You won’t risk getting sick from other people.
Can telehealth be bad for me?
You and your provider won’t be in the same room, so it may feel different than an office visit. Your provider may decide you still need an office visit. Technical problems may interrupt or stop your visit before you are done.
Will my telehealth visit be private?
We use telehealth technology that is designed to protect your privacy. If you use the Internet for telehealth, use a network that is private and secure.
What if I try telehealth and don’t like it?
