Virtual Visits
Sometimes you need to see a provider quickly, without leaving the comfort of your home. With MercyOne virtual visits, you can connect with a trusted provider from anywhere, giving you the flexibility to receive care wherever and whenever you need it.
MercyOne is excited to announce we've moved to a new electronic health record and billing system for all of our locations except MercyOne Genesis.
Our new system provides:
- Same patient-centered care you've always received.
- A new patient portal including online scheduling called MyChart. This portal has the same functions as before with some added benefits.
- Your bills will look different. Services from our office and those from any MercyOne location will be in one statement.
How do virtual visits work?
A virtual visit connects you with a MercyOne provider on a digital device using the internet and video/audio.
- After booking your appointment, you’ll receive an appointment confirmation via text message. If necessary, please complete registration using your device.
- Once you’re registered, you will receive a phone call from MercyOne to collect any additional necessary information.
- When your provider is ready to see you, an appointment invitation will be delivered via text message.
- Use appointment invitation instructions to begin your visit.
For your virtual visit, you will need the following:
- A quiet, private and well-lit location.
- High-speed internet paired with a smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera and speaker.
