Video and Phone Doctor Visits for Sharp Rees-Stealy Patients

At Sharp Rees-Stealy, we are proud to offer a variety of doctor's appointments from the convenience of your smartphone, computer or tablet.

If you have a medical concern or require a follow-up appointment — and you'd like to save a trip to the doctor's office — a video or phone visit may be right for you. Plus, you'll be able to connect with your doctor from wherever is most convenient for you.

Video and phone visits are ideal for follow-up appointments and for certain medical conditions, such as:

• Flu
• Sore throat
• Medication management and questions
• Depression and anxiety
• Skin rash or infection
• Backaches
• Bug bites
• Cuts and wounds
• Eye problems
• Joint problems
• Minor burns/sunburn
• Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea
• Shingles
• Sinus problems
• Sprains and injuries

You are eligible for video or phone visits if you:

• Are at least 18 years old
• Have HMO insurance accepted by Sharp Rees-Stealy
• Are a patient of a doctor who offers video or phone visits
• Have been seen by that doctor in the last 12 months

If you meet the above criteria, simply ask if you may schedule a video or phone visit when you make your next appointment. As an added convenience, you may use FollowMyHealth® to schedule a video visit. FollowMyHealth is a patient portal owned and operated by Allscripts, Inc., and provided by Sharp Rees-Stealy as a service for patients. Copayments may apply depending on your health plan.
