We know you can get sick or hurt without warning. When covered and available, virtual care, also called telehealth, can be a great way to see a provider without leaving your home.
Ohio Medicaid: Understanding virtual care
Understanding virtual care
Telehealth is the direct delivery of healthcare using audio and/or video. Instead of coming into the office for your appointment, you:
- Stay at your home or office
- Use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to see and talk to your healthcare provider/physician
Using telehealth services:
- Is free
- Means you don’t have to worry about driving to or from an appointment
