Telemedicine
Revolutionizing patient care for today
Why Telemedicine? There may be times when it’s not necessary, not possible, or not recommended that you go to your doctor’s office. Telemedicine provides an added option, ensuring that care is not delayed when you and your physician can’t meet in person. By using telemedicine we can pre-screen a variety of pediatric illnesses that can be diagnosed and treated effectively.
These include:
- Cough and cold symptoms
- Respiratory infections
- Influenza
- Pink eye/conjunctivitis
- Stomach Ache/vomiting/diarrhea
- Fever
- Skin rashes
- Seasonal allergies
- Sprains and strains
How it works?
Your doctor will ask you a series of questions to understand your condition.
He or she will ask you to describe your symptoms and discuss your medical history. Depending on your complaint, your doctor may conduct a virtual examination by asking you to cough, watching you breathe, or zooming in on your eyes or mouth or other body part that is causing you concern. You’ll receive instructions about next steps, which may include a treatment plan, medication prescriptions, referral for lab tests or to a specialist, or other action.
Co-pays and fees for telemedicine visits vary, depending on your healthcare insurance carrier. Your doctor’s office and insurer can give you more specific information.
