An online visit looks easier to fit into your day. You want to know what happens after you fill in the form.
Telehealth means care by video, phone or online messages. Ask which doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant would review your health and discuss treatment.
Write down the medicines you take, what you want help with and what has already been tried.
Ask who reads those notes and how you can send another question.

Ask who would arrange any needed exam or test if the online visit leaves the question unanswered.
Who replies between visits? How do you get a copy of the plan? What happens if treatment is not offered?
