Practical tips for preparing for a phone or video appointment.

Virtual appointments can save travel time and make it easier to fit care into a busy day. A little preparation helps them go smoothly.

Find a quiet, private space, check your device and connection beforehand, and keep your medication list and questions nearby. If you need an interpreter or other support, ask the clinic in advance.

If something cannot be assessed virtually, your provider can arrange an in-person visit.
