What to Do After Your Telehealth Visit

After your telehealth visit with Chesapeake Telemedicine, it’s important to take specific steps to ensure you continue to manage your health effectively. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Review Your Treatment Plan

Understand the Recommendations:

• Take time to review the treatment plan and recommendations provided by your healthcare provider during your telehealth visit. This may include prescribed medications, lifestyle changes, or follow-up tests.

Ask Questions:

• If anything is unclear, don’t hesitate to reach out to your provider for clarification. It’s important to fully understand your treatment plan to follow it correctly.

2. Fill Any Prescriptions

Medication Pickup:

• If your healthcare provider prescribed medication, they may have sent the prescription directly to your local pharmacy. Ensure you pick up your medications promptly to start your treatment as advised.

Understand Dosages:

• Double-check the medication instructions, including dosages and timing. If you have any concerns or experience side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

3. Schedule Follow-Up Appointments

Timely Follow-Ups:

• Depending on your condition, your provider may recommend a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress. Schedule this follow-up as soon as possible to ensure continuous care.

Routine Check-Ins:

• Even if a follow-up isn’t immediately necessary, consider scheduling routine check-ins, especially if you have a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.

4. Complete Any Additional Tests

Lab Work and Imaging:

• If your provider ordered lab tests, imaging, or other diagnostic procedures, make arrangements to complete these as soon as possible. Your provider will need these results to accurately assess your condition.
