Virtual Visits Through LECOM Health Connect
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth lets you see your providers using video on your computer or phone, so you don't have to travel. You can see, hear, and talk to your provider online, just like you're there with them. You can be at home for your appointment and even have someone with you, like a family member or friend.
How Do I Do a Telehealth Visit?
A telehealth visit is like a normal provider's appointment, but you use a camera to see your doctor on a screen. You'll get a text or email with a link to start the video call. For the visit, you need:
A computer with a camera and microphone, or
A smartphone or tablet.
Our office will call you before your appointment to explain everything and let you know when you'll get the link. When it's time, just click the link, allow your camera and microphone, and then you'll be ready to talk with your doctor. Make sure you have a good Wi-Fi connection and your device is charged. Using headphones can help avoid sound problems.
Why is Telehealth Great?
Telehealth is super helpful, especially if you live far from your provider or in a place with not many providers. It lets you:
Stay in your community.
Save time and money on traveling.
Miss less work or school.
Stay away from germs if you get sick easily.
Is Telehealth Private?
Yes, it's just as private as seeing your provider in person. Only you and your healthcare team can hear and see your visit.
Does Telehealth Cost Money?
You'll get a bill for your telehealth visit, just like a regular provider's visit. Most insurance plans cover it, but you should ask your insurance company to be sure. Remember, if you have a big health emergency, go to the emergency room or call 911.
Messaging Your Provider and Care Team
Can I message my provider?
Yes, you can send a secure message to your doctor if you've seen them in the last three years. Just click the contact us button for non-urgent health questions. Someone from your healthcare team will reply within three business days. Remember, don't use this for new health problems or big emergencies – for those, make an appointment or call 911.
LECOM Health Connect cannot be used to receive a diagnosis. Please schedule an appointment to address a new health issue.
If you are experiencing an urgent medical problem, call 911 or your physician's office immediately.
Will I get billed for messages?
No. You will not get billed for messages. This is a free service offered to our clients.
What if I have questions about my bill or need financial assistance?
For billing information, please contact (814) 616-0509 for the Achievement Center of LECOM Health or Corry Counseling of LECOM Health or email support@lecombh.org. You can also call the Support Team at (814) 923-9236 and they will direct you to the correct contact.
