Telemedicine is type of appointment that uses both video and audio.  The Medical Assistant (MA) will call before your scheduled appointment. Please report three vitals (preferred blood pressure, weight, temperature). After you check-in with the phone call, enter the virtual waiting room and accept the terms (we use HIPAA-compliant technology for your privacy - either Zoom Health or Doxy Me depending on your provider).  Your provider will then join you at your scheduled appointment time. 

​

Telehealth is different than a virtual visit. Virtual visits are conducted with a provider using secure HIPAA-compliant technology such as Elation patient passport. These are billable unless you have a chronic care management program.

​

We will only schedule telehealth appointments for lifestyle medicine patients or for urgent sick visits.
