What are the benefits of telehealth?
Having a telehealth visit is just like a regular visit, but you are in one place and your health care provider is in another. While you may need to see your health care provider in person sometimes, telehealth has many benefits.
- It keeps you and others from getting sick by being close to each other.
- You can see your health care provider anywhere: home, work, or even your car.
- It saves time because you don’t need to travel, take time off, or find someone to watch your kids.
- You may get an appointment faster.
- You have more choices. You can have a visit with a health care provider who may be far from you.
Telehealth may not be right for everyone or every health care condition. Always talk to your health care provider if you have questions or concerns.
