Telemedicine

Meet with your care provider from the comfort of your own home

Get the care you need from wherever you are.

Access to care is extremely important at Lee Health. A TeleHealth appointment is a virtual care visit that gives you the same hands-on, compassionate care you get from an in-person visit. 

We leverage technology to provide our patients, physicians and caregivers safe and efficient care through Telemedicine. Telemedicine at Lee Health helps those unable to travel to in-person appointments in safe way that protects your privacy and is easy to use. We take security very seriously and all of our systems are HIPAA compliant and secure. Our goal is to have you focus on your health and not the technology.

Eligibility for TeleHealth will depend on your medical condition and ultimately will be determined by your provider. Talk with your provider or clinic scheduler to see if a virtual care visit is an option for you.

When can I use Telemedicine?

You should use Lee TeleHealth in place of an urgent care visit. You do not need an appointment, and you can log on anytime, day or night. You should use MyChart for a scheduled appointment in place of an in-person visit with your primary care doctor for general medical issues and discussion.

If you have a medical emergency—heart attack, stroke, severe injury or pain, or trouble breathing—please do not use MyChart or Lee TeleHealth. Call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.
