How to Choose

Choosing virtual care is easier when the basics are clear. Virginia Telehealth options can differ by visit purpose and clinician scope. Use the checklist below to compare listings in a consistent way.

Match the visit type to the need

• Confirm whether the listing covers urgent symptoms or ongoing management
• Check whether the service supports adults, teens, or children
• Look for mental health support versus medical problem visits
• Review what information is needed before the visit begins
• Note any limits on what can be handled over video

Plan for the conversation and follow-up

• Bring a current medication list, including dose and timing
• Write down key symptoms, start dates, and what makes them worse
• Prepare questions about testing, referrals, or in-person evaluation
• Understand how follow-ups are handled if symptoms change
• Use a question guide, like Questions To Ask

Quick tip: Keep photos, records, and ID ready before the check-in starts.
