Optum offers several virtual care options to connect with your doctor:
- A phone visit
- A visit to our patient portal
- A video visit on your computer, smartphone or tablet
Phone and video visits work well for:
- Routine follow-ups for long-term problems and medications
- Talking about lab or imaging results
- Minor infections, illnesses or injuries
- Basic health concerns, such as a cold or flu
You can meet with your doctor through live video with your computer, smartphone or tablet — from the comfort of home.
Video visits are a safe and easy way to get the care you need. You can:
- Connect face-to-face with your doctor
- Get great, personalized care
- Save time and worry less about getting to the clinic
Just like a visit in our clinic, during a video visit you can:
- Have a visual exam, if your care doesn’t require an in-person visit
- Ask your doctor questions
- Get important information from your doctor
- Get prescriptions sent to your chosen pharmacy
If you don’t have a computer, smartphone or laptop, you may be able to have a phone visit.
