Telehealth
Eastern Iowa Health Center offers the option of telehealth visits to our patients. These visits allows us to continue to provide you healthcare from the safety of your home.
Telehealth visits are easy, confidential and are available at no extra charge. Contact us at 319.730.7300 to see if a telehealth appointment is right for you.
What is a Telehealth Appointment?
Telehealth appointments use cameras to connect you with your healthcare provider. You will need a smartphone, tablet or a computer with a webcam and internet connection to have your appointment. You will have the opportunity to speak directly with your provider.
How does a Telehealth Appointment Work?
- You will receive an email or text to register when the you schedule your appointment.
- You will receive a separate email or text with a link to join the telehealth visit two hours before the scheduled time.
- Ten minutes before your scheduled time, just click the link from your mobile device or computer to connect with your provider for your appointment.
How to Prepare for your Telehealth Appointment.
- Find a quiet space where you can be by yourself. Parents or guardians must be available to provide consent for pediatric patients.
- Be prepared to give your provider all of your attention. Please do not connect on your smartphone while driving or doing other tasks.
- You will need a smartphone, computer or tablet that has a microphone and camera and an internet connection.
- If you are using a smartphone or tablet, you will need to download the Zoom app ahead of time.
- Ask anyone who lives with you to avoid streaming or watching videos while you are using the internet for your telehealth appointment.
- Dress appropriately for your visit; just like you would if you were coming into the clinic.
- Prepare for your visit just like you would any other. Have a list of current medications and questions prepared to ask your healthcare provider.
What is the cost of a Telehealth Appointment?
You will be billed for your telehealth appointment the same as if you were seeing your provider in person. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Medicaid, Medicare and many insurers are providing coverage for telehealth. To find out if your insurance will cover telehealth appointments, please call the number on the back of your insurance card.
