Frequently Asked Questions
What is telehealth, and how does it work?
To get started, you’ll schedule an appointment and receive a secure link to join the session from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. During the session, you can discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment options just as you would during an in-person visit. This makes accessing care easier, especially for those with busy schedules, mobility issues, or living in remote areas.
Is telehealth as effective as in-person visits?
Telehealth also offers added convenience—no commuting, shorter wait times, and the ability to connect from the comfort of your home. For conditions requiring physical examinations or diagnostic tests, in-person visits may still be necessary, but telehealth serves as an excellent complement to traditional care.
Do I need special equipment for a telehealth appointment?
- A Device with Video & Audio: A smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop with a camera and microphone.
- Reliable Internet Connection: A stable Wi-Fi or data connection ensures smooth video and audio quality.
- A Private, Quiet Space: This helps maintain confidentiality and minimizes distractions during your session.
Optional items like headphones can improve sound quality, and ensuring your device is fully charged helps prevent interruptions. Some platforms may require you to download a secure app, but setup instructions are typically simple.
Is telehealth secure and private?
Your telehealth sessions are protected from unauthorized access, just like in-person appointments. To further safeguard your privacy, use a secure internet connection, choose a private location for your session, and avoid public Wi-Fi networks. Rest assured, your provider is committed to maintaining the highest standards of security and confidentiality in both virtual and in-person settings.
