Is Telehealth Right for Your Visit?

Choose the option that best matches your concern.

What Telehealth Can Help With

Telehealth is useful for select concerns when a physical exam, lab test, X-ray, or procedure is not required.

Follow-up visits

Some follow-up visits can be handled virtually when appropriate.

Medication questions

Ask questions about medications related to a recent care plan.

Lab review

Review select test results and next steps with a provider.

Mild illness concerns

Some mild cold, cough, congestion, or simple illness symptoms may be appropriate for telehealth.

Rash evaluation by video

Some rashes or skin concerns may be reviewed by video, though in-person testing or treatment may still be needed.

Weight management follow-up

Telehealth may be appropriate for some weight management follow-up visits.

When an In-Person Visit May Be Better

Telehealth is convenient, but it is not right for every medical concern. Some conditions require an exam, testing, imaging, or treatment in the clinic.

Chest pain or breathing concerns
Severe symptoms
Abdominal pain
Possible fracture or injury needing X-ray
Cuts, wounds, burns, or abscesses
UTI symptoms that may need urine testing
Pregnancy testing
STI testing
Flu, COVID, or strep testing
Physicals or forms
Work injury care
Any concern that needs hands-on exam or procedure

Emergency note

For chest pain, severe shortness of breath, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, major injury, loss of consciousness, or any life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room.
