Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between telehealth and telemedicine?
Telehealth is a broad term for remote health services. It can include clinical visits, education, and care coordination. Telemedicine usually means direct clinical care, like a video visit with a clinician. Many sites use the terms interchangeably, so it helps to read the details. Look for the visit format, the specialty, and what follow-up is offered. If prescriptions may be involved, check how the service explains evaluations and pharmacy coordination.
How can I compare options on this category page?
Start with the reason for the visit, then compare service scope. Filters can help narrow by specialty, visit type, and age range. Read how each listing describes documentation, follow-up, and communication between visits. Also note any technology requirements, like video capability or photo uploads. If medication may be discussed, check whether the listing explains prescription review and pharmacy steps. Comparing these fields reduces surprises during scheduling and check-in.
What should I have ready before a video visit?
Many visits go smoother with a short prep list. Keep a current medication list, including doses and pharmacy name. Write symptom notes with start dates, triggers, and key concerns. Have a photo ID available if identity verification is needed. Check your internet connection, camera, and microphone ahead of time. If the visit might involve skin concerns, take clear photos in good light. This preparation supports accurate documentation and clearer communication.
Can a clinician prescribe medication after a virtual visit?
Sometimes, but it depends on the clinical situation and local rules. A clinician generally needs enough information to evaluate symptoms and medical history. Some medications require extra screening, follow-up, or in-person care. Controlled substances may have added legal restrictions and may not be available through all virtual services. If a prescription is considered appropriate, it is typically sent to a licensed pharmacy for dispensing. Services may also require identity checks or record review.
What should I do if symptoms feel urgent or dangerous?
Telehealth is not the right setting for every situation. If symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or feel life-threatening, emergency care is the safer choice. Call 911 for immediate danger or go to the nearest emergency department. Examples can include chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, or confusion. For mental health emergencies, use local crisis resources or emergency services. Virtual care can be useful for non-emergency concerns and follow-up planning.
