DCH is working on solutions to make sure community members can still access health care even during the current restrictions. To that end, DCH is now offering a solution for community members to visit with a physician in certain clinics via video or phone.
Here is how it works. A patient places a call to a physician’s office and requests an appointment as usual. If the doctor agrees it is appropriate for a virtual visit then an appointment is booked. The patient will receive a text message or web link to access the appointment from their video enabled smartphone or computer. The whole interaction is conducted via Upbox, a secure, HIPAA compliant portal that doesn’t require the user to download an app or have any special equipment.
Locations that are already offering the service include:
- West Alabama Urology (205) 759-7878
- Cardiac EP of Alabama (205) 759-6921
