Telehealth is a convenient way to get medical care in real time without leaving home or taking time off work. It’s also an ideal way to get emotional support. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer to connect with qualified, Hawaii-licensed providers securely and safely.
Why use telehealth?
Convenient
No matter where you are in Hawaii, if you have an internet connection or a phone, you can get care from a doctor, behavioral health specialist, or other health care provider.
Affordable
A telehealth visit costs about the same or less than a doctor’s office visit. Telehealth services are a benefit of most HMSA plans. You may be charged a copayment, so check your plan benefits.
Easy to Use
In a recent study, participants who used telehealth said they were very satisfied and found it simple to connect. They also recommended it to others.
