What is a TeleVisit?

A TeleVisit is when your healthcare provider uses technology to care for you – without you having to travel to their office. During your TeleVisit, you and your healthcare provider will see and speak with each other – using a computer, smartphone or tablet.

Your provider will be able to check how you’re doing, diagnose any problem you have, and come up with a treatment plan for you – all by video. It’s one-on-one, personal and feels like a Skype call. And your video won’t be recorded or saved.

What Kinds of Appointments can TeleVisits can be Perfect for?

  • Medication check-ups
  • Mental healthcare consultations
  • Pre-natal visits
  • Lactation follow-ups
  • COVID exposure
