Telehealth: A Doctor’s Visit From the Comfort of Your Home

Virtual Visits, How Does it Work?
 

 
Before you begin, you might be asked to fill out a brief medical history. Once you’ve answered a few questions, you’ll share details about your symptoms and anything else the provider may need to know before your visit begins. You may also want to prepare a list of questions to ask the doctor.
 

 
Here are some of the conditions that may be best addressed in a telehealth visit*:
 

 
Allergies
 
Bronchitis
 
Cough/Cold
 
Diarrhea
 
Fever
 
Migraine/Headache
 
Pinkeye
 
Rash
 
Seasonal flu
 
Sinus problems
 
Some mental health visits (depending on coverage)
 
Sore throat
 
Stomachache
 
Urinary tract infection
 

 
After your visit, the provider may prescribe medication and send the information to your chosen pharmacy, as well as to your primary care physician for reference.
 

 
If you’ve never done a telehealth visit before, now might be the perfect time to give it a try. It’s a great option to get the care you need while still taking the steps to keep yourself and your community safe.
