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.

“eVisit was founded seven years ago with a mission to simplify healthcare delivery to everyone, everywhere and to maintain continuity of care between healthcare providers and their patients,” said Bret Larsen, CEO and Co-Founder of eVisit.

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.
