Virtual visits

Talking to a doctor is easy—anytime!
Can’t see your regular doctor in person? Virtual visits, also known as telehealth or telemedicine, make it easy to access care from a board-certified doctor via a secure video or phone appointment, from your home or on the go. Doctors may even be able to prescribe medication.
Here are a few common conditions that may be addressed by a virtual visit:
- Allergies
- Review of X-rays or other test results
- Sore throat, cold and flu
- Diarrhea
- Rashes or insect bites
- Depression and anxiety

- Put together a list of your current medications, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements. You may also want to take a moment to weigh yourself, check your blood pressure (if you have the equipment) and, if you have diabetes, check your blood sugar before your call begins.
- Finally, make some notes about your symptoms or concerns before your call begins so you don’t forget to mention them.
