Medical Disclaimer and E-Visit
Medical Disclaimer This Service does not constitute the practice of any medical, nursing or other professional health care advice, diagnosis or treatment. The information on the Service should not be considered complete, nor should it be relied on to suggest a course of treatment for a particular individual. Always seek the advice of a qualified health care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Service. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem or condition, contact a qualified health care provider immediately.
Definition of an E-Visit: An e-visit is an online exchange of medical information between a patient and a health care provider whereby the provider gives the patient medical advice via secure online communication. E-visits can be used only for non-urgent symptoms instead of the patient calling a clinic, or scheduling an in-person appointment. When initiating an e-visit, patients must accept the Terms and Conditions in this Agreement, verify their information, and then complete an online form about their symptoms. The form provides the health care provider the information needed to treat the patient.
Electronic communication cannot substitute for a medical evaluation in which a qualified health care provider takes a history from a patient, conducts a physical examination and orders and interprets the appropriate diagnostic tests. Accordingly, providers will offer e-visits only for non-urgent symptoms. At any time during the e-visit, the provider may terminate the e-visit and advise the patient to seek treatment from an in person provider visit or, if it appears to the provider that the symptoms described are emergent, to seek care at the closest emergency room.
If you have an immediate need, call your provider's office. If this is an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest urgent care or emergency room.
