Telemedicine

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.

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 a 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.

Many visits can take place using telemedicine instead of an in-person office visit. 

You can use telemedicine for:

• Sick Visits

If you have an urgent care concern like a cold or rash, the team can evaluate you with telemedicine to simplify your health care. They can prescribe medications and send them to your pharmacy of choice.

• Treatment Follow-Ups

If you recently had a procedure or minor surgery, the NextHealth Care team can touch base with you to see how

• Reviewing Test Results

Our team at NextHealth Care can review the results of lab tests and interpret what they mean for the future of your treatment.

NextHealth Care works with many major insurance providers. While many plans cover telemedicine services, coverage can vary. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm your specific benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs. Our billing department is also available to assist you with insurance-related questions.

If your NextHealth Care provider determines that a prescription is necessary during your telemedicine visit, they can send it electronically to your preferred pharmacy. You'll be able to pick up your medication quickly and conveniently.
