  • What do I need for a virtual visit?

    There are a couple of technological requirements we suggest ensuring you have a seamless experience. Make sure you are using a device with a webcam, microphone and strong internet connection, such as a laptop, mobile phone or tablet. For the optimal experience, use the Google Chrome web browser on your laptop or desktop computer

After your virtual visit we will submit a claim to your insurance carrier for full payment.

  • The video quality is poor or connection is dropping

    Poor video quality is usually caused by a slow internet connection. You will need an absolute minimum internet connection of 20 mbps to do a virtual doctor’s visit.
    To test your internet connection speed, visit speedtest.net and press Go. If the test says your speed is under 20 mbps, and you’re using Wi-Fi, try using a wired internet connection or restarting your router.

  • What is Coronavirus?

    Coronavirus is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel Coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.
    Current information shows that older adults and people with chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease, are at higher risk of getting very sick from this illness. Although it is possible for everyone, including young people, to be affected, your individual risk is low. Similar symptoms may occur with the seasonal flu, so it is very important that you receive a flu vaccine.
    Latest from the CDC
