What to Expect of Your Virtual Doctor Visit?

Virtual visits are very similar to a typical office visit. However, the physical office is replaced with telecommunication technology in the form of a video call.

It’s a simple 3-step process:

  1. Your online doctor’s appointment is scheduled. You’ll then receive confirmation of your appointment with a link to your virtual doctor’s office. Make sure you mark your calendar!
  2. You’ll be directed to complete a self-exam and patient history form which you’ll submit through a secure web portal. Your doctor will review the information with you in greater detail during your appointment.
  3. In the day and time of your appointment, you’ll be greeted by your doctor. Since screens are two-way you can share and discuss diagnosis, imaging, medication, treatment options, and more.

Is it Covered by Insurance?

Many insurance carriers now cover these types of virtual doctor exams during the crisis. Once you are connected with the practice office you can discuss your specific insurance coverage.
