What are Virtual Visits?
These are visits that can be conducted via email or telephone and don’t require that you come into the office. They are only
available for established patients (you must have visited me in my
office at least once prior to using this service). I need to have seen you within the last year. They can be used for
new or existing problems, which, in my opinion, don’t require face to
face care. Examples of appropriate virtual visits: follow up on cholesterol or thyroid problems,
uncomplicated sinus or urinary tract infections. Examples of inappropriate virtual visits: difficulty breathing, bleeding, high fever, or chest pain.
Call 911 now for any of these issues! Don’t use virtual visits for things
that need to be seen right away. Instead call (421-0775) or click here to make an
on-line appointment. I’ll get to virtual visits usually within 24
hours, but there are times when it might take up to 72 hours.
Paying for a virtual visit
The charge for a virtual visit is $30, payable through paypal prior to
starting the visit. Most insurance companies don't pay for these
visits, but a few do. If I review your virtual visit information and
think you should come in, I’ll apply your on-line payment to your
office visit charge.
