What is a TeleVisit?
A Televisit is a virtual one-on-one office visit through the Patient Portal or Healow App. 'Virtual' (Tele) meaning that it takes place over an internet connection through a computer or cell phone. 'Visit' meaning that you will see a provider in real time to discuss your health. The provider will be able to assess your symptoms and issues and make the necessary recommendations, including prescribing medications and scheduling follow up appointments.
TeleVisits are a great addition to regular office visits because they can be scheduled the same day as the actual virtual appointment.
To begin your Televisit, follow these easy steps:
1. Have an active Patient Portal account, with username and password
2. Set aside a secure, private location
3. “Arrive early” by logging in to your Patient Portal. If you can’t access the Portal, you can also begin your appointment through the reminder link sent to your email.
4. Click “Join TeleVisit” in your patient dashboard (or email reminder).
