Telemedicine consultation is nothing but the delivery of health care services using technology which improves access to healthcare in rural and urban communities. It also allows you to have consultations with specialties that you might not have in your local facilities. Telemedicine consultation is also responsible for cutting down on your healthcare costs and also reduces your travel time and lets you have more time with family. Moreover, telemedicine consultation can minimize the complications of diseases by simply enhancing the screening and early diagnosis of most chronic diseases.

Just like a regular visit to physician/PCP, telemedicine works in the same way. The only difference is that the health care provider will be talking to you via video conference call. The health care provider will have your information pre populated in front of him just as he would have in case of a regular office visit. Apart from the doctor having all your health care records in front him, you can also upload health care records or medical evidences from your end to the platform.
