After that, you will have the opportunity to chat directly face-to-face with the treating doctor. Finally, the treating doctor can also call in any prescriptions he/she may prescribe for you during your telemedicine visit.

Labs
Did you know that your doctor will send you to a nearby lab after the online Visit if you need to have lab tests done? There is no need to worry about this part of your appointment.
If you have an infected tooth, an online doctor can get an antibiotic going for you during the Doctor Visit, and then may recommend you follow up with a dentist.

These can apply to in-person visits as well.
Seven Steps to a good In-Person or Telemedicine Doctor Visit
These seven tips will help you get the most out of your Doctor Visit:
- Be Honest. Don’t tell them what you think you should be feeling. Be honest about how your body feels.
- Make a list of your concerns. Write a list of questions and concerns as you think of them to ask each one at your Visits.
- Verify that you understand what your physician is saying to you at your Doctor’s Visit and what his recommendations are to you during your visits, whether it be physical therapy or a new prescription. Ask for clarification.
- Take medical information to the appointment. Take insurance cards, emergency contact information, a list of medications along with the dose, vitamins and supplements and their dose, and any new physicians, surgeries, or further medical information with you to the visits.
- Give the doctor any new data like new physicians seen, any ER visits, any reactions to medications, etc.
- Take a family member or friend with you to the appointments.
- Take notes during the meeting.
Understanding the doctor can be a challenge sometimes. Grab a notepad and take notes while the doctor is talking. You will be much more informed when you leave, and you will be able to recall the conversation better when you need to.
In Summary
Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed or reserved in a doctor’s office, but don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions and take those notes! You can keep a notebook of your visits as well. Don’t forget to call your health insurance individual, Medicare insurance person, or Medicaid representative and ask what your co-pay will be.
