What to Expect
How telemedicine works
Scheduled with your practice
Contact the practice where your child receives care to request a virtual visit.
Patient must be present
Your child needs to be present during the visit.
Physically in Maryland
The patient must be located in Maryland at the time of the appointment.
The right visit format
Your provider will decide whether video or an in-office exam is appropriate.
Choosing the Right Visit
When telemedicine may be appropriate
Call first. The office will help determine whether your child needs a virtual or in-person visit.
A virtual visit may help
Telemedicine can be useful when a concern can be evaluated safely through conversation and video, including selected follow-up questions. Your practice will confirm whether it is appropriate.
An office exam may be needed
Ear pain, concerns requiring a lung exam, and symptoms that may need laboratory testing cannot always be evaluated adequately by video. Your provider may recommend an in-person visit instead.
