Telehealth Visits
See the doctor without leaving home.
1. Schedule
Call the office or use MyChart. Confirm it is video, not phone-only.
2. Test ahead
Open the link 15 minutes early. Test camera and microphone. Avoid panicking at the start.
3. Good lighting
Sit facing a window. Doctor sees your face clearly without harsh shadows.
4. Quiet room
Pick a room without a TV or barking dog. Headphones help with privacy too.
5. List of medications
Have all pill bottles or a list ready. Same as any in-office visit.
6. Take notes
Write down what doctor recommends. Don't trust memory alone — telehealth ends fast.
Medicare and most insurance covers telehealth like an in-office visit. Check your plan.
