Primary care telehealth

Your health is our priority. Through MedStar Health, you have access to easy-to-use telehealth care options to meet your needs, including the following:

• Our primary care telehealth team gives you access to a MedStar Health physician or nurse practitioner affiliated with our practice with scheduled online appointments. They will communicate the plan of care with your primary care provider in your electronic medical record. Contact your primary care office or provider to see if a primary care telehealth visit is right for you.

• MedStar eVisit gives you access to experienced MedStar Health providers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No appointment needed. Visit MedStarHealth.org/eVisit.

An important part of a successful telehealth visit is a strong connection and/or a strong signal. If the system detects a weak signal, it may prompt you to switch to an alternate connection to conduct a visit successfully. This may mean switching to a Wi-Fi connection if your cell service is not strong.
