How Virtual Pediatric Telemedicine Works
Access the most up to date pediatric urgent care for your
children anywhere using telemedicine
What is Pediatric Telemedicine?
Pediatric Telemedicine is a virtual program where your child can receive medical care from a certified pediatrician. The online program uses live audio and video feedback between child and doctor so they can communicate in real-time, offering many of the same treatment options available during in-person pediatric appointments. This emerging pediatrician visit format has been recommended by trusted medical sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Parents will be present during their child’s telemedicine appointment and have the opportunity to offer questions and concerns to the virtual pediatrician. It can be an excellent option that provides urgent care and specialist pediatricians while adding convenience and saving time for families.
With the unpredictability of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth appointments are a safe option for your family to social distance while receiving regular medical care.
What kinds of visits can my child do with Pediatric Telemedicine?
Your child can meet with certified pediatricians online to seek virtual care for a variety of illnesses. From irregular sicknesses to specialty conditions and routine checkups, Pediatric Telemedicine can provide an experienced medical professional that is available when you are.
Urgent Care
Whether your child wakes up with a sore throat or injures themselves at school, an online pediatrician can assess them quickly without the hassle of leaving work. Our Pediatric Telemedicine services help children with different kinds of illnesses on virtual visits including:
If required, we can gladly refer you to specialists or children’s hospitals for your child
Specialty Visits
Some children deal with underlying medical conditions that require the expertise of pediatrician specialists. You can schedule your child for a Telehealth visit with our selection of certified specialists that cover a wide range of fields such as:
Pediatric Cardiology
Pediatric Endocrinology
Pediatric Gastroenterology
Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Pediatric Pulmonology
Pediatric Rheumatology
Routine Checkups
Our Pediatric Telehealth Services saves parents the unnecessary trouble of taking their child to an in-person pediatrician by conducting the visit online. Although vaccinations, lab work, and imaging cannot be done virtually, a certified Telemedicine pediatrician can ensure your child’s general well-being. They can determine after your child’s visit whether additional tests or data are needed.
What technology is needed for a Pediatric Telemedicine visit?
The general rule of thumb for devices that can utilize our Pediatric Telemedicine services are those that have a camera and internet access. Smartphones, tablets, desktops, and laptops are all available for parents to have open on their child’s video visits.
Unlike other digital services offered by doctors, Pediatric Telemedicine is as easy to use as FaceTime or Skype. You will receive a text or email before your appointment from our team that will walk you through accessing your child’s pediatric patient portal. Sensitive patient information is kept private through our health record platform that is HIPAA-compliant.
What are Pediatric
Telemedicine benefits?
You can schedule your child’s Pediatric Telemedicine visit around your week so you don’t have to take time off work. Video visits save parents driving time and gas while adding convenience to see a pediatrician anywhere. Our services save parents time, add convenience, and reduce life disruptions so you can take care of your child and do what you love most.
Pediatric Telemedicine keeps your child’s education as our priority by providing quick, easy appointments that prevent them from leaving class. For schools that do not have a registered nurse, your child can see a certified virtual pediatrician when they need them so they can get immediate medical attention. This way, your child can have fun with you rather than take long car trips to the emergency room or waste time in a waiting room.
Our Telemedicine health care pediatricians have the ability to schedule more frequent visits for children with specialty cases to better watch their conditions. Touchpoint visits open a pediatrician’s schedule up so they can treat more children with experienced care.
How much does each Pediatric Telemedicine visit cost?
For most Telemedicine platforms, they have visit costs, copays, and after-hour fees just like with a regular pediatrician. Your child’s virtual urgent care appointment can be covered by most insurances, including Medicaid and other major carriers. However, each state differs in its insurance policies, which means the cost will vary depending on where your family lives.
However, our innovative pediatric urgent care solution ensures families pay only $24.95 per month for the entire household. This means you never have to fret about unexpected medical fees that pile up quicker than you can handle. New Mexico and California residents like yourself can enjoy on-demand access to the latest online pediatric services for costs lower than any other medical provider.
