3. What kind of care is offered?
Telehealth is not meant to replace your primary care provider but it works great for minor to moderate illnesses. A provider assisted self exam over video chat is often all that is required to treat upper respiratory tract infections, joint/back pain, mild childhood illnesses like pink eye, and rashes. Telehealth can also be helpful for preventative visits like weight loss, chronic disease management, and to ensure that you are up to date on cancer screenings and immunizations.
