Telehealth Visits through APPatient


APPatient: Your patient portal mobile app.

After scheduling your telehealth appointment, follow these steps to ensure your visit is successful.

Step 1: Make sure your patient portal is active

After the receptionist confirms your email address and phone number, you will receive an email with a link to log in to the patient portal. If you already have access to your patient portal, you can skip this step.

Step 2: Download the app

If you haven’t already, download the app from the App Store or Google Play for use on your iPhone (iOS12 and above) or Android device (v. 7.0 and above). When downloaded, log in to the app using your username and password.

Step 3: Prepare for visit

Your provider may ask you to complete forms or upload information to your patient portal. You should complete this step before it’s time to join the visit.

Step 4: Join the video visit

At the time of your appointment, you will receive an email and text message to join the video call with your healthcare provider. You will have 10 minutes to log in to the APPatient app, confirm your last name and date of birth, and click “Join Video Visit.” When prompted, be sure to allow access to your camera and microphone.

Step 5: Talk to your provider

During your call, you have the ability to switch between your front and back camera. You can also use your phone’s flashlight. If you get disconnected, simply log back into the app and re-join the call.
