Telemedicine connects you with your primary care provider from a distance. This can be especially helpful when bad weather, illness, car trouble, a recent hospital stay, or a busy schedule can make access difficult.
Telemedicine uses a secure, private, live video and audio connection to provide care while you are at home. Getting medical care can feel overwhelming, especially when you have a new concern or symptoms that need close follow-up. Telemedicine makes it easier to stay connected and supported.
Benefits of Telemedicine:
- Easier access to your healthcare provider to manage your health conditions in a way that is more affordable, less time-consuming, and less stressful
- The ability to discuss your concerns in the comfort and privacy of your home, with your medications and notes readily available
- Evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of many common primary care concerns
- Support from the State of Vermont, where telemedicine is widely accepted and often covered by insurance when medically appropriate
- Improved health outcomes and reduced need for emergency room visits when used as part of ongoing primary care
Telemedicine is a convenient and effective way to receive care while maintaining a strong connection with your healthcare provider.
