Telehealth

When you don’t have the time or ability to visit your doctor’s office for medical care, telehealth offers a convenient and accessible alternative. The exceptional team at Chicago Center for Women's Health provides telehealth services for existing patients, allowing you to video conference with your doctor, receive medical care, and get prescriptions — all from the comfort of your own home. You can request a virtual appointment online, or if you'd like more information on how to register for telehealth, just call the office. The friendly staff is happy to assist you in accessing virtual medical services.

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is an easy-to-use, HIPAA-compliant platform that allows you to receive quality medical care virtually, instead of in person.The process is simple: After you request a virtual appointment, your provider will send you a calendar invite with a link to digital registration forms (more details below). You’ll complete the forms, and then use the provided link to meet your provider online at the scheduled time.

In addition to receiving high-quality healthcare without going to the doctor’s office, telehealth offers the added benefit of flexibility — you don't have to be in the same location as your physician. Whether you live far from your provider or have a busy schedule, telehealth ensures you can still get the care you need, conveniently and comfortably.How Does Telehealth Work?

Your telehealth platform offers several features to ensure your visit is seamless: • Two-way, high-definition video: Telehealth allows for a face-to-face videoconference with your doctor, making it feel like you're sitting together in the office.

• Digital patient registration: Before your first visit, you'll register online by submitting your symptoms, allergies, medications, medical history, and insurance information.* Prescription management: Your doctor will manage your prescriptions and send them electronically to your preferred pharmacy.

• Secure online payment: The telehealth platform allows you to make secure payments online for your visit.* Chat and photo-sharing capabilities: You can chat with your doctor in real time and upload photos of your symptoms, making communication easy and efficient.

• HIPAA compliant: Telehealth interactions are fully secure, adhering to HIPAA standards to protect your personal health information.What Health Care Services Can I Receive Through Telehealth?

Telehealth can be used for many of the services typically provided in the office, but it's important to check with your provider to confirm which services are available via telehealth. However, for medical emergencies, you should seek care at your local urgent care facility or emergency department. Will Insurance Pay for Telehealth?

Coverage for telehealth varies by insurance provider and plan. Some insurance companies cover telehealth services, while others do not. In some states, insurance companies are required to reimburse telehealth visits at the same rate as in-person appointments. Medicaid generally covers telehealth in most states. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to find out if telehealth is covered under your plan.
