  • Talk with your healthcare provider by phone or secure video

  • Send secure messages to your care team

  • Share health data, such as your blood pressure or blood sugar readings

How To Prepare for Your Virtual Appointment

Preparing ahead of time helps ensure your telehealth visit runs smoothly. A few simple steps can make a big difference.

Check your visit details.
Your healthcare provider will remind you of your visit. They may send you a text, email, call, or a message in the patient portal. There may be forms to complete or instructions for starting your telehealth visit.

Find a good spot.
Choose a quiet place with good internet access. Make sure you are comfortable and able to speak openly.

Test your technology.
Make sure your internet connection and the device you are using for the visit are working correctly. Our team may assist with testing if needed.

Make a list.
Before the visit, write down the topics you want to discuss. Keep a pen and paper close to take notes during the visit. 

Here are things you might want to write down:

  • A list of current medications and dosages

  • Recent symptoms or health concerns

  • Your temperature, weight, blood pressure, or blood sugar readings

  • Any food or medication allergies
