Types of Virtual Care Video visits may also be called telehealth or telemedicine appointments. E-visits: You send information to your provider electronically, usually in the form of a questionnaire, then the provider reviews it and sends you a treatment plan or medical advice.

An E-Visit is an online visit with a primary care provider that can be used as an alternative to a traditional office visit for certain non-emergency conditions. This is a fast, affordable, and secure way to receive an online diagnosis and treatment plan for common medical conditions.

MedStar eVisit is available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. No appointment is necessary. The average wait time is 10-15 minutes. We monitor the virtual waiting room, adding providers if wait times are long and will help you move to another provider if the wait can be shorter.

Telehealth, or virtual visits is helping make access to health care more convenient. People can see and talk to a doctor through their smartphone, tablet or computer, meaning they don't have to go to a doctor's office or sit in a waiting room.
