What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a helpful addition to primary care that strengthens communication between you and your medical team. At NextHealth Care, the team offers telemedicine appointments for your convenience. Instead of taking place in the office, these visits are accessible on your personal phone or tablet. Simply log in and talk to your provider on a high-definition video call. 

The main benefit of telemedicine is that it allows you to access an appointment when you otherwise might not be able to. You don’t have to arrange transportation to the office and you don’t have to rearrange important plans to get the care you need. As long as you’re somewhere with an internet connection, you can complete your appointment from afar. 

When is the best time to use telemedicine?

The reasons you might one day need telemedicine are countless. Circumstances can change on a whim, and many people lead busy lifestyles that don’t allow much time for health visits in person. 

You might consider taking advantage of telemedicine services if you:

• Don’t have reliable transportation
• Are out of town on a trip
• Don’t have much wiggle room in your schedule
• Don’t want to spend time in a waiting room
• Have a contagious illness or are susceptible to them

Some services still require office visits, like in-office procedures, vaccines, or laboratory testing. Still, telemedicine can enhance your level of care and improve your communication with the NextHealth Care team. 

Which services are available through telemedicine?
