Telehealth

What is telehealth?

  • Telehealth is a way to visit with health care providers, such as your doctor or nurse practitioner.
  • Telehealth is not a guaranteed service and is only offered in limited, special circumstances.  Most medical appointments require you to meet with your provider in-person at the clinic.

How do I use telehealth?

  • You talk to your provider by phone, computer, or tablet.
  • Ideally your telehealth will be a video visit, so you and your provider can see each other.

What are the limitations of telehealth?

  • You and your provider won’t be in the same room, so it may feel different from an office visit.
  • Your provider cannot examine you as closely as at an office visit.
  • Your provider may decide you still need an office visit.
  • Technical problems may interrupt or stop your visit before you are done.
  • GHC reserves the right to determine whether telehealth is appropriate for a particular visit or medical problem.

Will my telehealth visit be private?

  • We will not record visits with your provider.
  • If people are close to you, they may hear something you did not want them to know. You should be in a private place, so other people cannot hear you.
  • Your provider will tell you if someone else from their office can hear or see you.
  • We use telehealth technology that is designed to protect your privacy.
  • If you use the internet for telehealth, use a network that is private and secure.

    How much does a telehealth visit cost?

    • What you pay depends on your insurance.
    • A telehealth visit will not cost any more than an office visit.
    • If your provider decides you need an office visit in addition to your telehealth visit, you may have to pay for both visits.

    BREAKING GROUND THIS SUMMER!

    Construction on our new Clinic starts soon!  We are so fortunate to have been awarded a $5,000,000 grant from the Anchorage Municipality. Turnagain Arm Health Center has deeded the property on the corner of Hightower and Lindblad to the Clinic. We are so close to our goal, but we need your help to make this a reality.
