Description: Telehealth allows you to connect with your healthcare provider to offer care remotely, getting rid of having to go into the office for a visit. This service is held online, requiring internet access and can be accessed through your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Functionality: Telehealth can be done either through a phone call, or more recently setting up a zoom, or another communication platform, with your doctor instead of going into the office.
