What Is a Telehealth Visit?

A telehealth visit, sometimes called telemedicine or a virtual medical visit, is an appointment conducted remotely using secure communication technology. During a video appointment, you can speak directly with an EZMED provider about your symptoms, medical history, medications, and concerns.

To learn more about virtual healthcare, visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services telehealth resource .

During an appropriate telehealth visit, your provider may:

• Review your symptoms and medical history
• Discuss your current medications and allergies
• Examine certain visible symptoms through video
• Answer questions about your medical concern
• Recommend supportive care or treatment
• Send a prescription when medically appropriate
• Recommend testing or an in-person examination when needed

Conditions That May Be Evaluated Through Telehealth

Telehealth may be suitable for many routine and non-life-threatening medical concerns. Whether virtual care is appropriate depends on your symptoms, medical history, age, and the provider’s clinical judgment.

Cold, Flu, and Respiratory Symptoms

A virtual visit may help evaluate symptoms such as:

• Cough
• Nasal congestion
• Runny nose
• Mild fever
• Flu-like symptoms
• Sinus pressure
• Seasonal allergies
• Mild sore throat

Your provider may recommend an office visit when testing or a physical examination of the throat, ears, or lungs is necessary.

Skin and Eye Concerns

Video visits may be useful for the initial evaluation of certain visible concerns, including:

• Minor skin rashes
• Mild allergic skin reactions
• Insect bites
• Possible contact dermatitis
• Minor skin irritation
• Pink-eye symptoms
• Eyelid irritation

Some skin and eye problems may still require an in-person examination, testing, or treatment.

Urinary and Digestive Symptoms

Telehealth may be appropriate for the initial evaluation of selected concerns such as:

• Mild urinary symptoms
• Possible uncomplicated urinary tract infection
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Mild vomiting
• Heartburn
• Minor digestive discomfort

Fever, flank pain, severe abdominal pain, dehydration, blood in the urine or stool, pregnancy-related concerns, or persistent vomiting may require prompt in-person care.

Headaches and Other Minor Concerns

Virtual appointments may also help with:

• Mild headaches
• Migraine follow-up
• Minor fatigue
• Medication questions
• General health concerns
• Initial assessment of a minor injury
• Guidance about the appropriate level of care

Medication Follow-Up and Prescription Questions

Depending on your medical history and the purpose of the appointment, telehealth may be available for:

• Medication reviews
• Discussion of possible medication side effects
• Certain prescription-refill requests
• Follow-up after beginning a new medication
• Review of treatment progress
• General questions about prescribed medication

A telehealth appointment does not guarantee a prescription or a particular medication. Your provider must determine that the treatment is medically appropriate and safe based on the information available during the visit.

Some prescriptions, conditions, or refill requests may require an in-person examination, laboratory testing, medical records, or additional follow-up.

Telehealth Follow-Up Care

Virtual appointments may make it easier to stay connected with your healthcare provider following an office visit. Depending on the condition, telehealth follow-up may include:

• Reviewing laboratory or imaging results
• Discussing whether symptoms are improving
• Checking your response to treatment
• Reviewing medication tolerance
• Discussing home blood-pressure readings
• Following selected ongoing health concerns
• Determining whether additional testing is necessary
• Deciding whether an in-person appointment should be scheduled

• Strep, flu, or COVID testing
• Diagnostic imaging
• IV hydration
• Injectable medication

Frequently Asked Questions About Telehealth

Is telehealth the same as telemedicine?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Both generally describe healthcare provided remotely through video, telephone, secure messaging, or other communication technology.

Do I need special equipment?

No special medical equipment is normally required for a basic video appointment. You will generally need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and internet connection.

Home readings such as your temperature, blood pressure, pulse, weight, or oxygen level may be helpful when available, but do not delay necessary care because you do not have these devices.

Can telehealth be used for sinus symptoms?

A provider may be able to evaluate sinus symptoms virtually. The provider will review the duration and severity of your symptoms and determine whether supportive care, medication, testing, or an in-person examination is appropriate.

Can a urinary tract infection be evaluated virtually?

Certain uncomplicated urinary symptoms may be evaluated through telehealth. Testing or an office visit may be recommended based on the patient’s age, medical history, pregnancy status, recurrent infections, fever, flank pain, or other risk factors.

Can I receive a prescription during a telehealth visit?

A prescription may be issued when the provider determines that it is medically appropriate. A virtual appointment does not guarantee a prescription, antibiotic, refill, or specific treatment.

Can children use telehealth?

Some pediatric concerns may be suitable for a virtual evaluation. The child’s age, symptoms, medical history, and need for an examination or testing will help determine whether telehealth is appropriate. A parent or legal guardian should be available during a minor’s appointment.

Can a new patient schedule a virtual appointment?

New-patient eligibility may depend on the medical concern, provider availability, clinic policy, and insurance requirements. Call 410-220-6082 for help selecting the correct appointment type.

Does insurance cover telehealth?

Coverage depends on the patient’s insurance plan and the type of appointment. Patients should contact their insurance carrier to confirm benefits, copayments, deductibles, network participation, and other coverage requirements.

What happens if I need testing?

Your provider may recommend an in-person appointment for laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging, or a physical examination. The EZMED team can explain the recommended next step based on your condition.

Can I schedule a same-day telehealth appointment?

Same-day appointments may be available depending on the schedule. Check the online booking system or call 410-220-6082 for current availability.

Is my telehealth appointment private?

EZMED takes reasonable steps to protect patient information during virtual care. Patients should also join appointments from a private location and use a secure internet connection whenever possible.

Can I attend a telehealth appointment while traveling?

Provider licensing requirements generally depend on where the patient is physically located during the appointment. Contact EZMED before scheduling when you will be outside Maryland.

What should I have ready for the appointment?

Have your identification, insurance information, pharmacy details, medication list, allergies, symptom history, and any useful home readings available.
