Frequently asked questions
Have questions about telemedicine or our services? Find answers to common inquiries below, helping you understand how HomeTown Care supports your wellness journey.
What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine is a way to care for patients remotely when the provider and patient cannot physically be together in the same location. This allows for convenient and accessible healthcare from the comfort of your home.
Is telemedicine effective?
Yes, it is! Research has proven telemedicine to be equally effective as in-person visits, with little to no differences in outcomes. Telemedicine was under-utilized in the healthcare industry until COVID-19, when it became a necessity in caring for patients in primary practice. Since then, patients and providers alike enjoy the benefits of remote care.
Can two illnesses be treated in one telemedicine visit?
Yes, they can. However, it is at the provider’s discretion to treat two illnesses in one visit. Depending on the illnesses, it may or may not be appropriate to treat both at the same time. Should two illnesses be treated, two copays may be collected, depending on the time spent to address those illnesses.
What if a condition cannot be treated via telemedicine?
If a condition cannot be treated by our provider, we will guide you in the right direction and make recommendations on what the next steps should be. Copays for the consultation would still apply.
Do you provide medication refills?
Yes, we do provide refills, however it is at the provider’s discretion which medication is appropriate for a refill. There are specific medications that we do not prescribe. Please contact us for details regarding non-prescribed medications.
Can I get a prescription today?
If your condition requires medication, we will send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice at the end of your visit. This ensures you receive the necessary treatment promptly. We do not prescribe any narcotic pain medications and certain anti-anxiety medications. Additionally, we do not prescribe any medications defined as “Controlled Substances” by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
