Telemedicine<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Telemedicine services are now a standard benefit on nearly all health plans for both new and established patients.<\/p>\n

Scheduling a telemedicine appointment can be done just like any other appointment:\u00a0 1) requesting an appointment on the practice website using the following link<\/a>, 2) requesting an appointment through the ZocDoc<\/a> smartphone app, or 3) by calling the office at 305-670-0146.<\/p>\n

On the day of the telemedicine appointment, patients will be called and then will be sent a link by both text message and e-mail that will take them to the telemedicine internet portal.\u00a0 There they will consent to the telemedicine session, and then will be taken to the virtual visit.\u00a0 The virtual visit is a synchronous audio\/visual interface where the provider and patient can communicate real-time.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>I don\u2019t have insurance. Can I use the telemedicine service?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes, patients can pay out-of-pocket for the telemedicine service if they do not carry insurance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can I use the telemedicine service on my smartphone?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes. The telemedicine service requires a device with an e-mail application, an internet browser, a microphone, and a camera. There is no app to download. The telemedicine service can also be used on a tablet or on a desktop as long as the device has an e-mail application, an internet browser, a microphone, and a camera.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What happens if the doctor decides that s\/he needs to see me in person and can\u2019t complete the virtual visit?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

If the doctor decides that s\/he needs to see you in person and can not complete the virtual visit, you will have to return to the doctor\u2019s office to complete the evaluation. If you return to the doctor\u2019s office within 24 hours of the telemedicine visit, the telemedicine visit will not be billed to insurance. If you return to the doctor\u2019s office 24 hours or more following the telemedicine visit, both the telemedicine visit and the office visit will be billed to insurance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
