Telehealth

Telehealth - sometimes called telemedicine - is the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to provide care when you and the doctor are not in the same place at the same time. If you have a phone or a device with internet access, you already have everything you need to get medical care or services through telehealth - you may be able to:

• Talk to your doctor live over the phone or video chat.

• Send and receive messages from your doctor using chat messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange.

• Use remote patient monitoring so your doctor can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather ECG or other vitals to help your doctor stay informed on your progress.

If you or a loved one are experiencing suicidal thoughts, call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to get help today by dialing 988. If you or a loved one are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
