Telehealth is a virtual visit between you and one of our providers.

You will need access to an internet connection through a device with video capability (computer, smart phone, or tablet with Firefox, Safari, or Chrome), and a private space for your virtual visit.

The current crisis makes virtual care solutions like telehealth an indispensable tool as COVID-19 spreads across US communities. During this state of emergency, insurance carriers such as Aetna, Avmed, BCBS, United Healthcare, and Medicaid, will continue to cover telehealth services provided through live, two-way communication, as medically necessary. These services are covered with little to no copayment depending on your insurance plan.

For your privacy, we will not video record or screen capture during your virtual visit.
