Telehealth is the New House Call
Telehealth enables you to visit with your doctor from the comfort of your home via the internet, using a mobile phone, tablet or computer. It’s user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video and audio technology. You can see and speak with a doctor, nurse or therapist in real-time and remain respectful of social distancing practices.
You can have your virtual visit anywhere you have internet access and privacy, and without time spent in a waiting room. Your eligibility for telehealth will depend on your medical condition and ultimately will be determined by your provider.
