What is Telemedicine? How does it work?

Telemedicine is defined as the practice of using technology to deliver medical care from a distance, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Patients can connect to providers through a dedicated portal, with an internet connection and computer with audio/video capabilities. Our provider team can then provide a variety of urgent care services, treatment recommendations, and other crucial services through secure digital means.

Telemedicine is ideal for patients that need to get medical care but are unable leave their home or have extreme difficulty traveling for an in-person medical appointment. Patients now have an efficient and effective way to get the care they need, all from the comfort of their homes. If you’re curious about insurances accepted for telemedicine, please consult your health plan administrator.
