Telemedicine, also called telehealth or virtual visits, has become quite popular during the last few years due to its ease of use, convenience, and accessibility. Telemedicine offers a broad range of services to the public including medical health services. Amcu TelePsych offers telemedicine consultations to their patients as a way for patients to easily access health services without time and travel associated with traditional visits.

Our virtual medical providers allow you to obtain advice from an experienced licensed physician in the comfort of your own home, enabling you to ask any questions you may have and discuss your needs just as you would in person. The physician can provide a medical prescription or even offer a referral if necessary, depending on your situation.

Telemedicine consultations have been an essential tool during the Covid-19 pandemic, but had already been gaining popularity beforehand and are sure to be available beyond the pandemic. Telemedicine consultations offer a safe way for patients to access healthcare services like ours whenever a patient needs effective and efficient care.

After your appointment is schedule, you will get an email confirmation with your appointment time and access link. Using telemedicine for a consultation will require the basic knowledge of using technologies like a smartphone, tablet, or computer as well as an internet connection to access the platform in which you will meet the physician for a consultation for the service in which you booked. You will need to make sure the technology you are using to access the appointment has the ability to showcase video and audio.

Our secure platform will be easy for you to use if you’re familiar with Zoom, Skype, MS Teams or Facetime. Feel free to let us know if you have any technical concerns with accessing your appointments.

Telemedicine consultations may be necessary if you are ill and cannot make it to your appointment in person, if you do not have the means to get to the clinic, or if your provider is only providing telemedicine appointments. Many times, a consultation will be necessary for the physician to gauge what services you may need from them and to get more information from you regarding the situation you have booked the appointment for.

The many benefits that telemedicine offers includes:

Control of infectious illnesses
The pandemic has shone a light on how easy it is to spread an infectious illness by just being in close proximity to a person for an extended period of time. Telemedicine consultations can be a great alternative to traditional visits when the patient is sick or simply wants to avoid time and travel to an office.

Better assessment
Telemedicine consultations give specialist practitioners like ourselves an advantage to see you in your home environment. Many times, when patients visit an office, they become anxious, closed off, and feel less comfortable. Telemedicine appointments, in contrast, are praised for being quick, convenient, and enjoyable. With many typical needs, telemedicine can result in a better experience overall.

Family connections
If you do not feel comfortable having the session alone, feel you may need help with providing the information necessary to our physicians, or simply want to have a family member, friend, or caretaker involved, we can easily accommodate them. They do not have even need to be at the home with you to access the appointment!, We can easily looped them into the appointment through the telemedicine platform as well. Just let us know in advance of your session.

Medical management
Regular visits can be continued through telemedicine appointments, and your medical information such as your prescriptions and other information can all be updated through the appointment.
