Telemedicine is practically the same as regular, in-person medicine, but as you might have guessed, telemedicine is healthcare over telecommunication! With telemedicine, you'll be able to receive care for a minor injury, mild illness, or chronic condition, or minor symptoms. For instance, if you have flu-like symptoms, a doctor may be able to determine whether the symptoms are those of the flu or another condition. From there, the doctor may prescribe medication or possibly recommend in-person or clinic curbside testing. Many different urgent care and primary care services can be provided via telemedicine. Even a visual physical exam can be provided via a videoconference. You can stay home for that kind of care, and there's another big benefit with telemedicine: it tends to be less expensive than in-person healthcare. Typically, health insurers will cover the costs of telemedicine too. We can find out for you if your particular provider will cover the costs of your visit with Boca Medical Care.
