Horizon Health’s telemedicine program allows patients to meet with
their providers from the comfort of their own homes. To participate, you
need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with video capabilities and internet access.
Telemedicine is available for primary care clinics in
Paris,
Chrisman, and
Oakland, Like an in-person visit, a telemedicine appointment is scheduled in advance.
Note that telemedicine visits are billed through insurance like a typical
in-person office visit.
How it works:
Call 217-465-8411 to see if your provider is participating in the telemedicine
program. Our staff will determine if a telemedicine visit is right for
you based on your specific condition/needs.
After your appointment is scheduled, you will receive an email from the
provider’s office that contains a link and any necessary instructions.
On the day and time of your appointment, click the link within the email
to begin your appointment.
Before your appointment:
Our telemedicine program uses Zoom, an online communication software that
is available for all electronic devices.
Smartphone/Tablet –Download the Zoom application ahead of your appointment through
the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Android).
Desktop/Laptop –You will be directed to the
Zoom website where your appointment will take place.
