  • Preparing for a medical appointment during the COVID-19 pandemic

    Since the COVID-19 pandemic is having a major impact on our healthcare services, we have to approach medical appointments differently than before. TeleMed and other virtual services could become the new norm. Still, some appointments and procedures need to be in-person. It raises questions about how we can best approach appointments with our providers.

    Do you have any appointments that have to be in-person? Do you have any tips for preparing for these specialist appointments?

    I just had an telemedicine appointment today. While it’s not as good as a physical appointment, it worked out fine. I was able to update my history and get my prescription refilled. I recommend that you use a camera, as the doctor can have you go some of the tests usually done in-person.
