Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
I have a concern that I may have COVID-19. How can a Virtua telemedicine visit help?
In response to the community concerns surrounding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), Virtua Health has extended its eVisit technology to conduct telemedicine sessions for individuals who may be at risk. This tool allows patients to have a telehealth appointment with an Urgent Care provider, from the comfort of home. Prior to starting a session, patients are encouraged to use our Coronavirus Self-Check to identify their level of risk.
General
What is a Virtua telemedicine eVisit?
Virtua uses an easy-to-use communication tool called eVisits that allows you to securely see and talk to a provider. It is similar to FaceTime and Skype. Using the app, a clinician can evaluate many medical issues and discuss your care without requiring you to come into the office.
What equipment do I need to participate in a telemedicine visit?
You will need a personal computer (Windows or Mac), tablet or smartphone (iPhone, iPad or Android). If you are using a personal computer, it needs to have a working webcam and microphone.
Can I use a different tool for my appointment?
We use eVisits to hold a telehealth visit appointment with a healthcare provider. To get started, you need to 1) register; 2) download the app; and 3) sign in.
Are Virtua telemedicine visits secure?
Yes. All video and audio communication is encrypted. No video or audio is recorded.
Is there a cost to have a telemedicine appointment?
There is no cost to download, install, or register for the Virtua eVisits application. It is is a free and secure communication tool. There may be a fee associated with your appointment, depending on the service you are using or your insurance carrier, e.g. a co-pay or class fee.
Can I contact my provider using the eVisits tool?
Currently, Virtua eVisits is only used for specific telemedicine appointments. If you would like to schedule a telemedicine appointment with your provider, please call 1-888-Virtua-3 (1-888-847-8823).
