What is Telehealth?

 

Derived from the Greek word for "afar," telemedicine, or telehealth is the use of technology to diagnose and treat patients remotely.

 

While the concept has been around for decades, the use of telemedicine has become increasingly common in hospitals and physician's offices. 

 

It also can be an added medical benefit that gives you an affordable alternative to costly urgent care or ER visits. 

 

Telahealth offers 24/7/365 access to a national network of U.S. board-certified physicians and pediatricians who can diagnose, recommend treatment and write short-term prescriptions, if appropriate, for many medical issues via phone or online video consultations.

 

Telehealth is simply a new way to access qualified doctors that are:

 

• Practicing PCPs, Pediatricians, and family medicine physicians

• Average 15 years experience 

• U.S. board certified 

• Credentialed every three years meeting NCQA standards

 

Stop sitting in waiting rooms and wasting PTO's talk to a doctor anywhere, even from work, and pick up a prescription during your lunch break.
