What You Need To Know: Flu Shots | Visitor Restrictions.
Want to talk with your primary care doctor about a health issue? Need a follow-up appointment with your cardiologist? Looking to get a consult from a specialist? Struggling with depression and need to talk with your therapist?
Whatever your health concern, scheduling a video visit with your doctor or a specialist means you don’t have to leave home to receive the care you need.
In addition to primary care visits with your own doctor when you are sick or having a health problem, many specialists across Henry Ford Health System offer Scheduled Video Visits. These are available for both returning patients for follow-up appointments or new patients.
While many types of specialty appointments can be conducted by video – from prenatal check-ups to sports medicine consults and much more – there are some limitations depending on your condition or needs.
If you plan to see a doctor in one of the following specialties, check out specific details and/or instructions:
To make an appointment for a Scheduled Video Visit, call your doctor’s office directly to find out if a video visit is right for you. Or contact us at (800) 436-7936.
All Scheduled Video Visits are conducted through your Henry Ford MyChart account. You can use any device with a web-enabled camera for a video visit, including a laptop or desktop computer, smartphone, tablet or iOS device.
If you have misplaced your username and password or you do not have a MyChart account call (800) 436-7936 and we can assist you.
Once completed, an after-visit summary of your Scheduled Video Visit appointment will appear in your Henry Ford MyChart account under the “Past Appointments” section. The audio and video from the visit is not recorded.
Most insurance plans cover the cost of a video visit, just like a regular doctor’s visit.
