Virtual, or online, healthcare visits are conducted via phone or video, instead of in-person. Your child’s healthcare provider may offer telemedicine visits. There are also “telemedicine-only” companies that may give you access to providers 24/7. Providers who offer services via telemedicine are qualified healthcare professionals and provide diagnoses and care for many kinds of illnesses and injuries. When required, some providers can also prescribe medication after a telemedicine appointment.
