Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is a virtual care visit? 

Virtual care is the virtual healthcare visit you have with your clinician through your phone, tablet, or computer. Speak or interact face-to-face with your clinician in real time via a secure video connection from the comfort of your home. During the visit, your clinician will answer your questions and provide a diagnosis and treatment plan.

 

Who can use virtual care?

TeamHealth VirtualCare is available for patients of all ages.  Depending on the condition, a phone, video, or in-person visit might be recommended. Virtual care is ideal after hours and when you can’t get into your doctor, and you need care now.
