Yes, you can use telehealth for a doctor’s visit! Telehealth is a way to see your doctor virtually, using a secure connection on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Telehealth and telemedicine are the same thing. During a telehealth visit, your doctor can see your medical records and even prescribe treatments while you talk. It’s a convenient way to get healthcare, especially if you live in a rural area or find it hard to get to a doctor’s office.
To find out if telehealth is covered by your insurance, call the customer service number on your insurance card. They can tell you how and when telehealth is covered by your provider. Telehealth is becoming more popular because it makes healthcare easier to access and more convenient for many people.
