Telemedicine Utah

If you suspect a UTI or you think you have strep throat you can arrange a virtual consultation with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms.

1. Choose your equipment.

It is helpful to decide in advance which equipment you can use for telemedicine. It can be a computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet. It may also be important if it is based on Apple, Google, Windows or Android. It is also important to have a reliable internet connection.

2. Choose a quiet and private place.

Find a quiet meeting place so you can hear the doctor's voice, and they can hear you. This will reduce distractions and make your appointment more efficient.

3. Prepare paperwork in advance.

You will receive our new patient forms along with other paperwork depending of the type of visit that needs to be completed before the visit. This may include a list of medications you take, your primary doctor contact, pharmacy contact, insurance information, and payment information.

4. Write down the questions in advance.

When trying to remember all the things you might want to ask the doctor, the pressure of the new visit can be distracting. Writing down your important questions in advance will help you remember these questions during your visit.

5. Click on the link 5-10 minutes before.

Entering the visit early will help ensure everything is working. This will reduce the amount of time spent dealing with technical issues during the appointment.

6. View your treatment plan.

You should review the treatment plan with your doctor during the telemedicine visit so that both parties understand the next steps. It’s also helpful to write it down so you don’t forget the plan.

7. Follow up.

At the end of the telemedicine visit, follow-up visits are set up as needed.
