What is telehealth or telemedicine?
Telehealth — also called telemedicine, E-visits, and virtual check-ins — allows your doctor to provide care when you and the doctor are not in the same place. Using a phone, computer or other device with internet access, you and your doctor can talk live over the phone or video chat, send and receive messages, and use remote patient monitoring
​
What are the benefits of telehealth?
While not every doctor visit can be virtual, there are many benefits:
-
Reduces everyone’s risk of exposure to Covid-19
-
No need to commute, travel in bad weather, take as much time off from work, or arrange child care
-
Often able to see doctor more quickly
-
Ability to address health issues without leaving home
-
Easier access to specialists who live outside of your area
Is it covered?
Telehealth is covered by many insurance companies; contact your insurance company for information. Medicare covers some telehealth services, and Medicare Advantage plans may offer more telehealth benefits.
