Scheduled Video Visits FAQs

Can patients schedule themselves for video visits?

Not at this time. Currently, video visits are scheduled by the provider office. If you're interested in scheduling a video visit, please contact your provider via MyChart or call your provider's office.

What is a scheduled appointment video visit?

Scheduled appointment video visits are an easy way to see a provider for consultation and treatment with your primary care provider or specialist.

What is the cost of a scheduled appointment video visit?

The cost of a video visit is the same cost as an in-person visit with your provider. Your insurance will be billed for this visit and collect a co-pay per your insurance. Any portion not covered by your insurance plan will be billed and collected after the visit.
