Telehealth Visits

A Modern Way to Visit with Your Provider

TeleVisits and how to use them

In an effort to prevent the spread of disease, we are now offering virtual Telehealth visits instead of in person visits for certain situations. All COPC providers are TeleVisit-enabled and are ready to serve your healthcare needs via a virtual Telehealth visit.

TeleVisit Requirements

You can participate in virtual telehealth visits with a smart phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. Connection can be established via the Patient Portal, the Healow app on your phone or tablet, or simply by opening a link which can be sent by email or text.

Get Started

Please Note

Before you can request a Telehealth visit, you must have an email or smartphone/cell number on file. To access via the portal or Healow app, you must be registered for Patient Portal access. Please contact your primary care provider to provide contact information or register for the portal according to your planned connection method.
