Aurora offers video visit for easy-access appointments
Online system allows patients to receive treatment from home
Milwaukee – In an effort to continually enhance convenient access to medical services, Aurora Health Care is now offering Video Visit among its various patient care options.
Patients can visit Aurora.org/videovisit via mobile device or computer where they can have a live-video appointment with an Aurora board-certified professional who has received special training in telehealth, and has access to the patient’s medical records.
During a video visit, patients will enter their information, including symptoms, and then select who they would like to speak with from the list of currently available providers. From there, patients experience a live video conversation with a medical provider, receive a diagnosis and treatment plan, receive a prescription (if necessary), and are provided recommendations for follow-up care.
Conditions treated through a video visit include bronchitis, sinus and respiratory infections, red eye, colds, fever, sprains and more. Visit Aurora.org/videovisit for the entire list of conditions.
“Offering Video Visit is another way Aurora Health Care is putting patients first, and adding even more convenience to our high-quality care,” said Dr. Andy Anderson, chief medical officer for Aurora Health Care. “We’re offering top-quality care from the convenience of your home.”
Video Visit is the latest offering from Aurora Health Care’s telehealth system, which includes e-visits, in which a patient emails a physician details about their condition and receives a response or diagnosis within an hour, and Urgent Care reservations, which enable patients to find the most readily-available urgent care option, reserve their spot in line and skip the waiting room. The cost of a Video Visit is $49, and insurance is accepted.
