When life is busy, complicated or unpredictable, virtual care services can help you stay on top of your health. Virtual care (otherwise known as telehealth) lets you access the care you need from anywhere, and the pandemic has made it a preferred option for many.
If you’re not feeling well physically or emotionally, virtual care provides access to doctors and licensed behavioral experts ready to help you by phone or video. When your visit is complete, your doctor may provide a summary of next steps and send prescriptions (if needed) to your local pharmacy. And if you’re looking for a more convenient way to make sure you get your annual check-up; a virtual wellness screening may be available to you.
Advantages of virtual care
Telehealth options may vary based on your health insurance plan and the services offered by your health care provider. Talk to your primary care provider about available virtual care options. You might be surprised to learn that you can see your own provider or another in the practice virtually.
