Is a virtual health plan right for me?

I (or my family) have frequent doctor visits or live with a chronic condition.

I (or my family) am mostly healthy and mainly attend preventive visits.

I have access to a mobile device, tablet or laptop, and am typically comfortable with using or learning technology.

I (or my children 19 and over) have access to a mobile device, tablet or laptop, and are typically comfortable with using or learning technology.

It’s likely that many of my medical needs treated by my PCP could be addressed in a virtual visit.

My schedule is so busy, I find it hard to fit in appointments.

I prefer in-person time with my PCP.

I have access to a mobile device, tablet or laptop, and am typically comfortable with using or learning technology.

Are your children 19 or under?

I find it difficult to see my primary care provider (PCP) and wind up spending more time in the waiting room than I’d like.

I have a chronic condition that can be monitored remotely (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc).

I tend to be at my primary care provider (or our pediatrician) often between my children or myself.
