The Future is Virtual: Exploring Telemedicine

In case you didn’t know, Sun Health & Dental provides its members with free telemedicine! This means you have access to a teladoc 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. We know how important it is for our members to have the ability to speak with a provider online whenever they might need to, and to have the option of not going to a doctor’s office where they will be in closer contact with other people.

Oftentimes, there are minor conditions that a doctor can easily treat over the phone. This saves our members an entire trip to the doctor’s office for conditions that can easily be diagnosed over the phone like a UTI, cold and flu-like symptoms, allergies, and many other non-emergency illnesses. 

The reality is, the future of healthcare, and basically the entire world, is moving virtually. 

Telemedicine has revolutionized the way healthcare is delivered, putting the power of medical advice and treatment directly into your hands. With just a few clicks on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can connect with a licensed medical professional from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are. No more waiting rooms, no more long commutes, and no more taking time off work just for a routine consultation.

Moreover, the ongoing global health concerns have underscored the importance of reducing unnecessary in-person interactions. Telemedicine not only offers a safer alternative during times of pandemics or outbreaks but also helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases by minimizing physical contact.

How does Sun Health & Dental help?

We have it all figured out. First off, we have a state of the art customer care team who is ready to take your call and help schedule your telehealth appointment for you. Second, to make matters even easier for our members, we have an online portal where members can simply request an appointment. This saves you a phone call if you are one of those people who simply prefers doing everything online.

Our customer service team will handle your appointment scheduling for you, and a doctor will contact you via your phone or video chat.

What about specialists?

Sun Health and Dental has a network of thousands of providers. Within our network, we have specialists that offer telahealth visits for their patients. If this is something you are interested in, we can make sure to set you up with one of our local providers that can accommodate telahealth. 

What about mental health?

Just like we mentioned before, we have thousands of mental health providers in our network. If you’d like to make an appointment with a provider that offers flexible telehealth visits, your customer care team will be sure to make that happen for you.
