Maimonides is partnering with Amwell (formerly known as American Well), a leading provider of telehealth solutions, to offer virtual visits to our patients.
Please launch the Amwell app on your computer or device at least 5 minutes before your scheduled visit time in order to test your connection before being connected to your Maimonides provider. You should be in a quiet place with good lighting so your provider can see you clearly.
Virtual visits are generally billed at the same rate as an in-person visit for the same service. However, during the COVID-19 emergency, many insurers are waiving out-of-pocket costs for virtual visits to encourage patients to stay safe and take advantage of available telehealth options. Please contact your Maimonides provider’s office for more information.
Contact your insurer to confirm your specific coverage prior to your virtual visit.
Maimonides serves a diverse community, and if needed, an interpretation service can be connected to your virtual visit to offer foreign language support. Please discuss any needs for interpretation services when you schedule your virtual visit.
