INTEGRIS Now Offering Virtual Visits
Illness and injury don’t always occur during traditional business hours and even if they do, sometimes a person just feels so lousy they don’t want to leave their house to go to the doctor. That’s why INTEGRIS is proud to introduce INTEGRIS Virtual Visits as an alternative care option.
The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Here’s how it works… the potential patient uses their phone, tablet or computer to access the service. They can either call 844-636-7877 to enroll or log-on to IntegrisVirtualVisit.com.
Once they have enrolled and answered a few questions, they will then be connected to an actual medical professional for a one-on-one consultation. Using telemedicine technology, the caregiver will be able to physically see the patient.
“There will always be the need for in-person clinic visits, but this is a new and modern access point for patients to receive care,” said Bruce Lawrence, president and chief executive officer of INTEGRIS Health. “It’s about providing the right services at the right time in the right setting. This is just another tool for us to make health care more convenient and more affordable.”
There is no appointment necessary, the entire process takes about thirty minutes or less and prescriptions can be given if needed. An INTEGRIS Virtual Visit costs $39 and may be reimbursable through your health insurance plan. Please check with your insurance administrator to verify benefits.
The service is ideal for minor complaints such as bladder infections, sinus infections, rashes, pink eye, even the cold and flu. Patients with more serious issues will be referred to an INTEGRIS urgent care center or emergency room.
INTEGRIS Virtual Visits are the result of a partnership with Carena, Inc. a leader in helping health systems deliver new ways for patients to access health care. “We are pleased to partner with INTEGRIS to offer a new 24/7 option for receiving care,” said Ralph Derrickson, president and chief executive officer of Carena, “And at $39 per visit, it is a convenient and affordable option for the busy person looking for guidance and peace of mind.”
The INTEGRIS Virtual Visit program officially launched Feb. 16. The service is open to anyone in the state of Oklahoma. You do not have to be an INTEGRIS patient to use the service.
