How does telemedicine work?
These visits are usually scheduled just like any other visit. However, rather than coming to the office, you’re usually sent a link to click that downloads the telemedicine “room.” Oftentimes you’re greeted by a medical assistant who will take some basic history. When the physician enters the virtual room, he or she can see you and vice versa. They should be able to share the screen to show you films or lab results. The physician will discuss your concerns, make recommendations, and review when it would be appropriate for an in person visit.
Is it covered by insurance?
Insurance companies have started to cover various types of telemedicine. Once you are connected with the physician’s office you can discuss your specific insurance coverage.
Will my information be secure?
Many telemedicine systems are designed to layer in extra steps to comply with HIPAA. Should you have any questions about privacy and safety, please connect directly with the clinic.
