Sure, telemedicine has been around a bit, but the technology (and honestly, the regulations around it) needed a lot of work. Once we saw it becoming a truly viable option, we jumped on board.
Whether it’s called virtual health, telehealth, telemedicine… it’s the ability to meet with your provider through the use of your at-home or in-office tech such as your smartphone or laptop. It doesn’t replace appointments where a physical exam is required, but it has a lot of great upside for follow-up visits, medication management, lab results review, and more. It’s up to Pro-Care providers to use their discretion for a virtual visit, but you can certainly request a telemedicine appointment by calling, e-mailing or even texting us.
The list of reasons to try telemedicine is long, but here are a few of the primary advantages for you:
We’re using a great technology widely used in the healthcare industry called VSee. Even NASA uses it for astronauts on the International Space Station! From a patient perspective, you’d download the VSee app and be able to check into the Pro-Care virtual waiting room. Most patients use their smartphones and thus far, we’ve had a lot of great reviews as we’ve slowly rolled it out. The appointment is treated like a normal office visit with your office co-pay being the same.
Next time you need to see one of our providers, consider contacting your Pro-Care clinic directly or request an appointment.
