There are a few things that may make it so you wouldn't be able to do a telehealth appointment. Some of the reasons are if your:

• phone is audio only such as a landline, flip phone like Jitterbug Flip, or a Tracfone.
• device does not have functioning webcam.
• smartphone's connection isn't strong enough - two bars or less or 4G LTE.
• internet service is DSL or dial-up.
• only web browser is Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer will not work for telehealth appointments. 

It's okay. If you are a current patient (current means you have seen your provider in the last 3 years) call us and we will switch your appointment to a regular telephone visit: 410-837-2050 X4300.

If you are a new patient, call us and we will switch your appointment to an in-person appointment. We are sorry but we cannot do a telephone voice-only (no video) appointment for our new patients. 410-837-2050 X4300.

During a telehealth visit, your provider can help you with many things such as:

• hospital and routine follow-ups;
• medication refills;
• counseling and psychotherapy - anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use treatment, and more;
• pain – joint, muscle, headaches, sprains and strains;
• digestive issues – indigestion, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea;
• general physical issues – fever, sleep disturbances, pink eye;
• respiratory issues – coughing, asthma, allergies, sore throat;
• skin issues - rashes, acne, infections;
• and more.

Chase Brexton’s goal is to provide you high quality, affirming health care no matter what. Sometimes, we will need to see you in person.

But many issues, medical and behavioral, can be evaluated, discussed, and managed using telehealth! Either way, you will get care that is just for you - wherever you are.

You should set yourself up in a quiet space so you and your provider can talk without being disturbed.

It's also good to write down the following so you don't forget things you wanted to talk with your provider about during the appointment:

• an up-to-date list of medications you are taking, 
• any questions or health concerns you are having, and
• any health documents or lab results you recently received.  

Yes! Sometimes you may need to be seen in-person to get the care you need for your health concern. This could be for a lot of reasons, like for labs or for a hands-on diagnosis. 

If a co-pay is required for your telehealth visit, you will receive a bill after the visit and during our normal billing cycle.

No. Telehealth is available for all patients - with or without insurance. 

If you are on a sliding fee scale, you will be billed the same amount as you would if the visit were in-person.

Yes, definitely. 

If you are a current patient and have your sliding fee scale set up, you will be billed the same as you would if the visit were in-person. 

If you are a new patient, please call our Social Work Eligibility Specialists to see about getting coverage or to set up a sliding fee scale for you. You can reach the team at: 410-837-2050 X8806
