You will provide contact information, the symptoms you are experiencing and payment information.
You will have access to a private virtual exam room as soon as your request for care is submitted. When the visit moves to "active," you will be given a prompt to enter the exam room and will have five minutes to do so. If you do not enter the exam room within that time frame, the provider will attempt to contact you via the backup phone number you provided.
A virtual visit usually lasts about 20 minutes during which time the provider will ask you questions similar to those you would hear in a clinic. The provider may also talk you through some self-examination processes. When the visit concludes, you will receive a diagnosis and plan of care.

Paying for Virtual Care
We cannot accept insurance for virtual visits. However, you may check with your insurance to determine whether your visit fee can be applied to your deductible.
Selected employers provide coverage for virtual visits. Please enter the code your employer asked you to use in the “Service Key” field in the payment information section.
$49 per visit
We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. We cannot accept gift cards of any form at this time.
At the beginning of your virtual visit, the provider determines whether your health concern is appropriate for virtual care. A visit that does not result in a diagnosis or prescription is not considered cause for a refund. If the provider determines within the first three minutes of the visit that your condition would be better treated at a nearby medical facility, you will not be charged your $49 fee.
Insurance Coverage
We cannot accept insurance for virtual visits. However, you may check with your insurance to determine whether your visit fee can be applied to your deductible.
Medical Expense Reimbursement
Typically, the virtual visit fee is a qualified expense for a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). If you choose to pay by this method, please note that the card must have a Visa or Mastercard logo. Please check with your insurance plan for reimbursement of the visit fee.
Restrictions
New regulations that took effect on June 1, 2017, restrict virtual visits to those that use video modality; in other words, telephone visits are no longer permitted for patients in Wisconsin.
