teleconsultation
Virtual medical visit
Teleconsultation is a medical consultation conducted remotely, typically through video, phone, or secure messaging rather than an in-person visit.
The term gained wide currency during the COVID-19 pandemic as healthcare systems shifted to remote appointments: My doctor offered a teleconsultation instead of having me come into the office.
