Telehealth: Technology Meets Healthcare
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth, often called telemedicine, is the modern way healthcare meets convenience.1 It allows you to connect with healthcare providers and receive medical services remotely, right from the comfort of your home or any private location using technology like your smartphone, tablet, or computer.2
How Does It Work?
Instead of a traditional in-person visit, telehealth utilizes secure video calls, phone consultations, and sometimes even remote monitoring tools to facilitate appointments, discuss symptoms, receive diagnoses, get prescriptions, and manage your health.3 It’s designed to be just as effective as an in-office visit, but with added flexibility.4
The Benefits for You:
Telehealth breaks down barriers to care, offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility.5 You save time and money by eliminating travel, parking, and waiting room visits.6 It provides a private, comfortable environment for your consultations and makes consistent care easier to fit into your busy schedule.7

Common questions
Can everything be done by telehealth?
No. Lab draws, body composition scans and in-clinic treatments happen at one of the two offices. Telehealth covers the parts of your care that do not need you in the room, which is a good deal of the follow-up.
What do I need for a telehealth visit?
A smartphone, tablet or computer, and somewhere private to take the call. Visits run over a secure video connection.
Do you still need my history?
Yes. A telehealth visit is a medical visit. Your provider goes through the same history, medications and safety questions as they would in the room, and prescribing decisions are made the same way.
Choose office or telehealth care, complete the weight-loss prescreen, and reserve your visit online. Approval does not mean somebody will call; continue online, with text or email updates along the way.
