How to request telemedicine visits from your mobile device - Patient Guide – eVisit

In eVisit, you can schedule a telemedicine visit (also known as a virtual visit) for a future date and time, or if your provider is available, you can request a See Now visit without the need to schedule in advance. Both can easily be done right from your smartphone or tablet.

However, confirm your provider’s office allows you to schedule your visits in eVisit. Some organizations prefer that you schedule appointments through their scheduling department, just like you would if you had an in-office visit. If this is the case, follow the instructions they’ve given you.

It's important to note that some offices require information that others do not. You may be asked to verify your location, provide insurance information, or select a preferred pharmacy. The images in this guide may be different than your experience.

Types of telemedicine visits

Scheduled

Use the Schedule option to make a telemedicine appointment for a specific date and time. Using the schedule method, you can schedule a telemedicine appointment directly from your smartphone or tablet.

See Now

Some providers make themselves available to be “on-call.” Use See Now when you need to see a provider as soon as possible for non-emergency visits. Because you will enter the waiting room immediately, ensure that you are in a safe, private, and well-lit location when you request a See Now visit. Please contact them if you are unsure if your provider offers See Now visits.
