telehealth services

Virtual medical appointments

Telehealth services are medical care delivered remotely through digital technology—video consultations, phone calls, or messaging platforms.

The term covers diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, and mental health counseling conducted without an in-person visit: My insurance now covers telehealth services.

The practice expanded dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic when office visits became impractical.
