Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • When is it appropriate to schedule a virtual visit?

    Virtual visits are appropriate for a variety of care needs, including urgent care, routine follow-up visits, chronic disease management, medication management, reviewing test or lab results, and lifestyle coaching. Common illnesses including sinus problems, respiratory infections, allergies, cold and flu symptoms and many other non-emergency illnesses can be treated virtually. Contact your doctor to understand how virtual visits will work best for you.

  • What do I need for a virtual visit?

    There are a couple of technological requirements we suggest ensuring you have a seamless experience. Make sure you are using a device with a webcam, microphone and strong internet connection, such as a laptop, mobile phone or tablet. For the optimal experience, use the Google Chrome web browser on your laptop or desktop computer. 
    If using a mobile device or tablet, download the myPrivia mobile app in the Apple App Store or Google Play.

  • What can I expect during my visit?

    1. You will receive an email before your appointment to complete the required check-in steps. You must check in advance of your visit.
    2. Click "Start My Check-In" from your check-in email reminder. You will be guided through a technology check, consent form collection, insurance confirmation, and payment of your copay.
    3. After completing the check-in process you are ready for your visit! If your visit is starting soon, you will be able to go directly into a virtual waiting room. Otherwise, you will receive another email with the link to join your virtual visit.
    4. Click "Start My Virtual Visit" ten minutes before you are scheduled to meet with your provider. You will see a virtual waiting room.
    5. Once your provider is available, you will hear an alert noise and the "Join Visit" button will become active for you to click on and connect with your provider.
    6. Within moments, your provider will be visible to you on the screen and you may begin your virtual visit.
    7. Once finished, both you and your provider will end the virtual visit. Any next steps of care that you and your provider discussed will be inputted securely into your medical record and will be carried out, per your provider's instructions.
    8. You will be prompted to fill out a survey about your experience.

  • How much does it cost?

    Most commercial insurance plans cover virtual visits just as they would an in-office visit with your doctor, but speak with your insurer to confirm. In advance of the visit you will receive an email to check in through a secure online platform. As with any office visit, we will collect the normal copay amount during the check-in process. After your virtual visit we will submit a claim to your insurance carrier for full payment. If the service is not covered by your insurance, we will work with you to set up an affordable payment plan.

Troubleshooting

  • I am having trouble seeing or hearing my provider

    Remember to use a device with a webcam, microphone and strong internet connection, such as a laptop, mobile phone or tablet. If prompted by your device, be sure to 'allow' the technology access to your webcam and microphone.
    For the optimal experience, use the Google Chrome web browser on your laptop or desktop computer. If using a mobile device or tablet, download the myPrivia mobile app in the Apple App Store or Google Play.

  • The video quality is poor or connection is dropping

    Poor video quality is usually caused by a slow internet connection. You will need an absolute minimum internet connection of 20 mbps to do a virtual doctor’s visit.
    To test your internet connection speed, visit speedtest.net and press Go. If the test says your speed is under 20 mbps, and you’re using Wi-Fi, try using a wired internet connection or restarting your router.

  • I never received a message for my visit

    We will send a message to the email account you have on file with our office. Be sure to complete the check-in steps as prompted by the email. If you cannot locate your email, contact our office, and we will be able to send you another virtual visit link.

  • What is Coronavirus?

    Coronavirus is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel Coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.
    Current information shows that older adults and people with chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease, are at higher risk of getting very sick from this illness. Although it is possible for everyone, including young people, to be affected, your individual risk is low. Similar symptoms may occur with the seasonal flu, so it is very important that you receive a flu vaccine.
    Latest from the CDC

  • Watch for Symptoms

    People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2–14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms or combinations of symptoms may have COVID-19:
    ● Fever● Cough● Shortness of breath or difficulty breathingOr at least two of these symptoms:● Fever● Chills● Repeated shaking with chills● Muscle pain● Headache● Sore throat● New loss of taste or smell● Purple or red bumps on toes, hands or feet
    If you are experiencing these symptoms, or have any other unusual symptoms, contact our office.
    *Emergency warning signs include difficulty breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion, or bluish lips or face. If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19, get medical attention immediately.

  • Take Precautions

    The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. We strongly recommend the following:
    ● If you have any flu-like symptoms, such as fever, a dry cough and/or shortness of breath, contact us.    ● Take common-sense preventive actions to stop the spread of germs.
    ● Practice social distancing (6 feet apart).
    ● Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
    ● Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
    ● Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
    ● Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
    ● Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
    ● Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
    ● Cover coughs and sneezes and then immediately wash your hands.
