Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS A TELEVISIT?

A TeleVisit is a virtual visit with a primary care provider or specialist at York Hospital.  The visit will take place using your computer or smartphone.  You and your provider will be able to see each other through video and communicate using audio on your device.  Your provider can still order any necessary lab and radiology testing and can prescribe medications if needed.

How do i get setup?

The first step is to call and schedule it with your provider.  Before beginning your Telemedicine Visit, make sure that you:

  • Have an active Patient Portal account, with username and password
  • Set aside a secure, private location
  1. “Arrive early” by logging in to your Patient Portal. If you can’t access the Portal, you can also begin your appointment through the reminder link sent to your email.
  2. Click “Join TeleVisit” in your patient dashboard (or email reminder).
  3. Fill out any patient questionnaire, and provide requested personal information.
  4. Click “Proceed” to check your computer’s speed and ability to support a Telemedicine Visit. If your computer does not have a webcam (most do), you will need to attach one.
  5. Click “Start TeleVisit” to enter the virtual waiting room.
  6. Your physician will begin the face-to-face Telemedicine Visit, and disconnect when the visit ends

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A TELEVISIT?

TeleVisits can be scheduled by your provider’s office staff in the same way that you would make an in-office appointment.

WHERE WILL THE PROVIDER BE DURING THE TELEVISIT?

Your provider will be able to join the visit from their office at the practice or occasionally they may join the visit from their home office. Just like you, they are able to connect with you wherever they have a video/audio connection. All of our providers will have a secure HIPAA compliant connection to your health record during the TeleVisit. 

WHERE WILL I BE DURING THE TELEVISIT?

Because the visit is virtual, you can be anywhere!  As long as you have an internet or wifi connection with video/audio on your computer or smartphone, you will be able to connect with your provider.  You are able to connect virtually without leaving your home!

 
WHAT IS THE AVAILABILITY OF TELEVISITS?

We are currently scheduling TeleVisits with your primary care or specialty providers during our regular office hours.

IS THERE A COST TO HAVE A TELEVISIT?

Yes, we will bill your insurance company just as we would if you came into the office for your visit.
