E-visits now available

You’ve got a new, convenient way to connect with your Family Medicine or Internal Medicine physician: an e-visit.

You can use e-mail to get advice and prescriptions for eight common conditions: pink eye (conjunctivitis), diarrhea, cough, sinus problems, urinary problems, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, and vaginal discharge or irritation.

To start an e-visit, you need to be enrolled in SMDC MyHealth. There you’ll complete an online questionnaire to submit to your physician.

E-visits are available seven days a week, 365 days a year, for patients ages 18 and older. A request submitted between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. is answered within four hours. Requests received after 10 p.m. are returned by noon the next day.

An e-visit costs $40 and you need a credit card to use the service. We will submit the claim to your insurance before your card is charged for whatever part of the fee isn’t covered. E-visits are covered by some insurance companies, but not by Medicare or Medical Assistance.
