A telemedicine appointment is straightforward.
You will need to provide your current location.
If it is your first appointment, you’ll meet with the medical assistant first to confirm basic health information, verify your photo ID, and update medication information and complete screenings. Once complete, the physician will join you for your visit.
If you’re having a follow-up appointment, your doctor will ask you to provide an update about how you’re feeling and how treatment is working. He or she may also make further diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
At the conclusion of your visit, the providers will send a medical message to the patient service specialist to schedule follow- up appointments.
