A live, secure video connection is established between an offsite location (a clinic, doctor's office or home office) and a healthcare facility. A typical office visit is conducted except that the provider and the patient are not in the same physical location. Telehealth visits feel just like a “live” visit. You will have the same interactions with office staff, nurses, assistants and your provider. Providers may order tests, write prescriptions, or send you for a referral if needed. Telehealth visits allow you to see specialty providers on a consistent basis without having to travel far distances and receive high quality care in a timely fashion.
