Telehealth & Prescriptions

Telehealth lets you discuss tests and results online while a laboratory collects and analyzes the sample. Your clinician chooses tests based on the health question. Collection timing, symptoms and previous results can change the interpretation. An abnormal result does not automatically lead to a prescription.

Telehealth works well for many conversations, record reviews and follow-up visits. An office visit adds a hands-on examination, procedures and immediate testing. Some concerns need both settings. The right choice depends on your symptoms and what the clinician needs to assess, not simply convenience.
