Be sure to test your internet connection before logging on. It may be useful to have a paper and pen present. Your child can be with you on the chat if you like.
Once you click on your video or phone chat, your provider may ask you to send certain information to help them better understand your concern. You can expect to exchange:
- Weight, height, or vitals information
- Images of a wound or health concern
- History of your child's symptoms
- Medical records from other providers, such as X-rays
- Updates on the effectiveness of medications or treatments
At the end of the visit, your provider may guide you on how to take care of your child at home, prescribe any necessary medications, schedule a follow-up appointment in the office or via telemedicine, or refer you to a specialist if needed.
