What telehealth is

Telehealth means getting care from a physician by video or phone instead of in person.

Your choices

• Taking part is voluntary, and you may stop at any time.
• You may choose in-person care instead.
• You must be in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, or Virginia during your visit.

Emergencies

Telehealth isn’t for emergencies. Call 911 if you think you’re having one.

Privacy

We use systems designed to protect your information. See our Privacy Practices.

Your agreement
