What Is Telehealth

The Department of Health and Human Services describes telehealth (also known as telemedicine) as the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to offer care when you and your doctor aren’t in the same place at the same time.

Telehealth helps you connect to a health expert from home or anywhere to get the quality care you need.

When you can't make it to the doctor, telehealth is a way to keep you and your loved ones cared for.

Here’s a short video to learn more about what telehealth is, how it
works, and what options there are for our medicad members.

What Do I Need
for a Virtual Visit?

For many, virtual appointments are new,
and it may be your first time seeing a doctor through a screen.

Here is what you will need and some
tips to keep in mind before your visit:

  • A computer, tablet or smartphone, based on your type of visit
  • A strong internet connection, to avoid the video or call does not drop.
  • A way to chat with your doctor after your appointment, if needed (text or email are most common)
  • Important health records or medications, so you can reach them quickly and provide the information or review them with your doctor
