Check logistics that affect the experience
- Review required forms, identity checks, and medication history fields
- Note after-visit documentation, like visit summaries or work notes
- Confirm communication methods for follow-up questions and results
- Check language access, accessibility features, and caregiver participation options
Many people bring a short question list to stay focused. The guide Top Questions To Ask can help with planning. For a practical setup checklist, see Prepare For A Telehealth Appointment.
Using This Directory
This directory is easiest to use with a few filters in mind. Start with the visit purpose, then narrow by availability and follow-up style. Hawaii Telehealth entries often include notes on what information is needed upfront.
Profile details can also signal visit structure and documentation. Some services request photos before the call for certain concerns. Others focus on history review and symptom discussion during the visit.
Quick tip: Test your camera, microphone, and Wi-Fi before scheduling.
- Visit format: Video visit only versus video plus photo review
- Scope notes: What the clinician can assess remotely
- Follow-up: Messaging options, repeat visits, or care handoffs

Access and Prescription Requirements
Telehealth can support evaluation and care planning, but prescriptions follow rules. Hawaii Telehealth options may differ in what they can prescribe after a video visit. The clinician’s assessment, safety checks, and state rules all matter.
Some medications require a prescription (Rx) by law. Others are over-the-counter and do not need a prescriber. For background on virtual care basics, see this overview from HHS on telehealth.
Why it matters: Prescription verification helps reduce errors and unsafe medication use.
- Expect requests for current medications, allergies, and medical history
- Be ready to share a preferred pharmacy and contact information
- Some drugs have stricter rules, including certain controlled substances
- Cash-pay access is common, including options without insurance
Online pharmacy safety is also important when comparing options. For pharmacy checks and red flags, see FDA BeSafeRx guidance on online pharmacies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of concerns are often handled through telehealth?
Telehealth often supports common, low-risk concerns and routine follow-ups. Examples include minor infections, rashes, allergies, medication reviews, and chronic condition check-ins. Mental health visits may also work well by video for many people. Some situations still need an in-person exam, vital signs, labs, or imaging. Listings and guides on Medispress help clarify what usually fits a virtual visit. A clinician makes the final call during evaluation.
How does a video visit work on Medispress?
A visit takes place by video using Medispress’ secure app. Scheduling usually involves picking a time and completing intake questions. During the call, the clinician reviews symptoms, history, and goals. They may ask to see visible findings using the camera. After the visit, a summary may be available, depending on the service. If a prescription is appropriate, the clinician may send it to a partner pharmacy for dispensing.
What information should be ready before scheduling a telehealth visit?
Having a few details ready can reduce delays. Many services request a current medication list, allergy history, and key diagnoses. It also helps to note symptom timing and what has already been tried. A preferred pharmacy name, address, and phone number may be requested. Some visits require identity verification, especially when prescriptions are involved. If recent labs or imaging exist, keeping copies nearby can help during discussion.
Can a clinician prescribe medication after a telehealth visit?
Sometimes, yes, but it depends on the clinical situation and applicable rules. The clinician must determine that prescribing is medically appropriate and safe. Some medications have stricter requirements, including limits on controlled substances. A pharmacy may also perform additional verification checks before dispensing. If a prescription is not appropriate, the visit can still provide guidance on next steps, including when in-person care is needed.
When is telehealth not the right choice?
Telehealth is not appropriate for emergencies or severe symptoms. Warning signs can include chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, sudden weakness, severe bleeding, or suicidal thoughts. In those situations, urgent in-person care is needed right away. Some non-emergency concerns still require a hands-on exam, lab tests, or imaging. A directory listing can describe limits, but a clinician confirms whether video care fits the situation.
