Teams Telehealth Visits

Virtua Health offers telehealth appointments for patients in many primary and specialty care services and programs. These remote appointments with your provider allow you to get the expert care you expect from the privacy of your home.
 
Virtua providers use a variety of apps for telehealth visits. One of the apps used is Microsoft Teams, which offers online, live-video telemedicine appointments with the highest levels of security and encryption to ensure your privacy. While you can use Teams on your home computer, it is best viewed on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.

You can take the following steps to be ready for your visit.

If you need help with any of these steps, please call our Patient Support Line at 856-246-4113.
