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 doctor or clinician will attempt to contact you via the backup phone number you provided.
A virtual visit usually lasts about 20 minutes during which time the doctor or clinician will ask you questions similar to those you would hear in a clinic. The doctor or clinician may also talk you through some self-examination processes. When the visit concludes, you will receive a diagnosis and plan of care.
