How Telemedicine Works

Your Visit, Start to Finish

No apps to figure out and no in-office wait. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you book to the moment your prescription is sent.

1

Pick a Time and Book Online

Choose a same-day or next-available appointment that fits your schedule — no phone tag required.

2

Complete Your Intake Form

A short secure form gathers your history, current medications, and the reason for your visit before you connect with the doctor.

3

Join Your Video Visit

Connect from your phone, tablet, or computer through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video link — no special software needed.

4

Review Your Care Plan

Your physician walks through what's going on and what to do next in language that actually makes sense.

5

Receive Prescriptions

If medication is needed, it's sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice — usually ready within the hour.

6

Book a Follow-Up as Needed

For ongoing or chronic conditions, we'll schedule your next check-in so nothing falls through the cracks.

Ready when you are — most visits are booked and completed the same day.

Chronic Disease Management

Ongoing Conditions Need Ongoing Care — Not a One-Time Visit

Telemedicine isn't just for quick, one-off concerns. We use it to manage long-term conditions like hypertension and diabetes with the same regular follow-up you'd get in the office.

Regular Monitoring, Done Remotely

Hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol & more

  • Scheduled check-ins to track blood pressure, blood sugar, and other key numbers
  • Medication adjustments made in real time as your condition changes
  • Lab results reviewed and explained on your video visit
  • Consistent care from the same physician, not a different provider each time

Mental & Behavioral Health Support

Anxiety, depression & ongoing medication management

  • Confidential video visits from a private space of your choosing
  • Ongoing medication management for anxiety and depression
  • Symptom check-ins scheduled at the interval that makes sense for you
  • Referral coordination if a higher level of care is ever needed

Preventive Screening & Education

Catching risk factors before they become bigger problems

  • Guidance on when in-person labs or screenings are due
  • Education on managing weight, metabolic risk, and thyroid function
  • Personalized care plans that adjust as your health changes
  • A consistent point of contact so nothing gets missed between visits

Prescription & Medication Management

Your Medications, Handled Without the Extra Trip

Whether you need a routine refill or your physician needs to adjust a long-term prescription, it's handled on the video visit — and sent straight to the pharmacy you already use.

  • Prescriptions sent electronically to your pharmacy of choice
  • Routine refills for ongoing chronic condition medications
  • Dosage review and adjustments as your condition changes
  • Clear explanations of what you're taking and why
Some medications — including certain controlled substances — are regulated by state and federal law and may require an in-person evaluation before they can be prescribed. Your physician will let you know if that applies to you.

  • Ideal for out-of-network or uninsured patients

Plans We Commonly Accept

Traditional Medicare Aetna BCBS United Healthcare CHAMPVA Curative Ambetter Superior Health

Who Is Eligible

Telemedicine Is Available to Adults Anywhere in Texas

Our physician is licensed in Texas, so eligibility comes down to your age and where you're physically located at the time of your visit.

You're Eligible If You Are:

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Physically located in Texas at the time of your visit
  • Able to join a secure video call from a phone, tablet, or computer
  • Seeking care for a condition appropriate for virtual evaluation

Telemedicine May Not Be a Fit If:

  • You are under 18 — our clinic does not provide pediatric care at this time
  • You are located outside of Texas at the time of your visit
  • You're experiencing a medical emergency (call 911 or go to the nearest ER)
  • Your concern needs a hands-on exam or in-person testing
When an In-Person Visit Is Needed

Telemedicine Is Powerful — But It's Not the Right Tool for Everything

Your physician will always tell you honestly if your situation needs a hands-on exam. Here's when that's typically the case.

Medical EmergenciesChest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injury, or any life-threatening symptom — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Hands-On Physical ExamsConcerns that require palpation, listening to internal sounds, or a detailed physical exam to properly diagnose.

In-Person Labs or ImagingBloodwork, X-rays, or diagnostic testing that can only be collected or performed on-site.

Certain Controlled MedicationsSome prescriptions are regulated by law and require an in-person evaluation before they can be prescribed.

Need to Be Seen in Person Instead?

Our Longview, TX clinic offers adult primary care with the same physician-first approach.

In a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.

Is telemedicine covered by my insurance?

We accept many major commercial insurance plans for telemedicine visits, including Traditional Medicare, Aetna, BCBS, United Healthcare, CHAMPVA, Curative, and Ambetter Superior Health. Telehealth coverage varies by plan, so we recommend confirming your specific benefit with your insurer. Self-pay options are also available with pricing shown before you book.

Most patients can book a same-day or next-available appointment. Once you're booked and your intake form is complete, your video visit typically takes 15–20 minutes.

Where can I use telemedicine?

Telemedicine visits are available anywhere in Texas. You must be physically located in Texas at the time of your visit for us to see you virtually.

What if I need labs done?

Your physician can order labs to be drawn at a local lab or facility near you, then review the results with you on a follow-up video visit and explain what they mean in plain language.

Is my visit private and secure?

Yes. Visits take place over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, and your health information is protected the same way it would be for an in-office visit.

Do I need to download an app?

No special software is required. You'll receive a secure link to join your visit from any phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection.

What if my condition turns out to need in-person care?
