Telemedicine Q & A

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a way to see your Galenus Group provider remotely without leaving your home. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can talk to a medical professional using your smartphone, computer, or tablet.

Your medical provider can prescribe many of the treatments that they normally would in a regular on-site visit.

What kinds of conditions can you treat with telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a flexible kind of care that can work for many general and urgent care illnesses, conditions, and concerns. Some of the most common reasons for telemedicine visits are:

Colds and flu
Cough and sore throat
Allergies
Asthma
Chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, and more)
Arthritis
Rashes
Sprains and strains
Pink eye
Diarrhea
Constipation
Urinary tract infection
Stomach ache
Anxiety
Depression

If you’re having any kind of problem that requires medical attention, ask your Galenus Group provider whether you can get the care you need through telemedicine.

If you have a regular checkup or medication refill appointment but can’t make it in person, there’s a good chance you can change it to a telemedicine visit instead. Telemedicine isn't a good fit for emergency situations like broken bones, severe chest pain, or serious bleeding.

When you’re not sure what kind of care you need, just call the Galenus Group office to get advice and arrange your appointment at your earliest convenience.

What should I expect during my telemedicine visit?

You need to download the secure app to use for your telemedicine visit ahead of time. At your appointment time, open the app. This allows you and your Galenus Group provider to see each other in a private video conference.

Your provider discusses your situation with you, asks you specific questions, and reviews your medical history to determine a diagnosis. Anything you discuss is privileged medical information, just as it would be with an in-person appointment at Galenus Group.

If you need prescription medication, Galenus Group coordinates with a trusted local pharmacy for delivery direct to your home.
