Telemedicine

Get the Medical Care You Need from the Comfort of Your Own Home

Wayne HealthCare offers telehealth appointments for patient visits that can be done via your personal smartphone, tablet, or computer, where you can speak with a physician via video chat. This service is particularly valuable for Ohioans who live in rural areas, so you can talk to a specialty care provider without the need to travel. Contact your provider’s office for details and follow their directions to prepare for your telehealth visit.

Specialties available through telehealth include:

  • Behavioral health
  • Diabetes education
  • General surgery
  • Home health
  • Lactation support
  • Pain management
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Pulmonology
  • Sleep consultations
  • Urgent care

Telemedicine & COVID-19

Because of COVID-19, many insurances cover telemedicine and online doctor prescriptions at this time. Benefits of telemedicine during the pandemic include the fact that you can stay at home and not have to come to the hospital and subject yourself to other possibly contagious patients.
In-person visits may be needed prior to and after telehealth visits.
