What is virtual care, and how does it work?
Virtual care allows you to connect with a Sanitas provider from anywhere via secure video visits. Through the mySanitas patient portal/app, you can schedule appointments, get medical advice, and receive treatment without visiting a clinic in person.
Can I get a prescription during a virtual visit?
Yes, if your provider determines that medication is needed, they can send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy.
What if I need lab tests or an in-person follow-up?
If additional tests or an in-person visit are required, your provider will guide you to the nearest Sanitas location and help schedule any necessary follow-ups.
How do I schedule a virtual visit?
No appointment is needed when using the 24/7 "Get Care Now" feature in the mySanitas patient portal/app. You can schedule a virtual visit with your dedicated care team like you would any other appointment.
What type of equipment do I need for a virtual visit?
You'll need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, as well as a stable internet connection. The mySanitas app makes it easy to join your appointment with just a few taps.
Do I need to download an app to use virtual care?
For the best experience, we recommend downloading the mySanitas app on your mobile device. However, you can also access virtual visits through the mySanitas website on a desktop or laptop.
Is my virtual visit secure and private?
Yes, all virtual visits are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, ensuring your personal health information remains confidential.
How much does a virtual visit cost?
Costs depend on your insurance coverage and visit type. Virtual appointments scheduled with your dedicated care team or that end up using video conferencing cost the same as in-person visits in most cases. Chatting with a provider when you use the "Get Care Now" feature in the mySanitas app is complimentary.
