What is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine is a remote, digital medical appointment. It’s a broad phrase for medical services like video chats, emails, text messages, and phone conversations.
Telemedicine is safe and private. Our doctors must observe HIPAA’s privacy guidelines so patients’ information is safe.
When you meet with your doctor’s virtually, it usually involves doctor-patient video chats. Online patients schedule appointments and use a link to get there. The patient needs an internet-connected gadget and a secluded space for telemedicine.
Using a secure internet connection, you can access your medical records remotely through the patient portal. Within the portal you can also see appointments, medicines, and test results.
