Visit with your DNA doctor without leaving your home.

Telemedicine is a virtual care platform that allows health care professionals and patients to meet by phone or video chat without having to travel to a clinic or leave their home.

You will need to provide the following:

1. A patient must provide consent prior to their telemedicine appointment.
2. You will need a telephone and access to the Internet.
3. Visit our Telehealth Appointment Guidelines for additional information on equipment needed.

We are currently seeing existing patients for routine visits as well as new patients who need to be seen urgently by a nephrologist. Other types of appointments available through telemedicine include nutrition and supportive care consults.

Telemedicine appointments occur in private settings, such as a doctor in a clinic or office connecting to a patient who is at home or at another clinic. Patients should not receive telemedicine services in public or semi-public settings.

Please check with our office first before coming to your scheduled appointment. Your physician will assess whether it is medically necessary for you to come to our office for a face-to-face appointment. Some patient appointments may be able to schedule a telemedicine appointment or reschedule their regular appointment for a later date.

Please contact your DNA office and inquire about a telemedicine appointment.

We can usually schedule your telemedicine visit at your convenience.

Insurance may cover your telemedicine visit.  However, you will need to check with your insurance provider to find out if telemedicine visits are currently covered, including your out-of-pocket copayment, coinsurance, & deductible. Each plan determines the level of patient responsibility & coverage, so please be sure to check with your plan prior to scheduling.
