What Is Telehealth?

Telehealth refers to healthcare services that are provided to patients by providers using electronic means. A Telehealth appointment does not take place in person, but rather over the phone, internet, email, by video conference, or using another type of communication technology. Telemedicine makes it possible to access a provider’s opinion or advice without leaving your home or office.

  • Confirm Gulf coast Health Center has your correct mobile number and email address on record.

To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend the following:

1. Prepare for the meeting; have your Medpod unique link available. This link was sent to you via email or text.
2. Check your Internet Connection; make sure that you have a strong Cellular or Wi-Fi connection.
3. Choose a quiet area and limit distractions; turn off any ambient noise such as music, television, video games, or other noisy electronics.
4. Secure your Privacy; go into a closed room and/or use Earbuds or a Headset. Bluetooth devices work as well!
5. Adjust the Light; align the lighting in the room so that it shines on you. This will allow your health care provider a better view of your face and your eyes.
6. Make sure you enable your microphone (audio) and camera (video) when you join the meeting.

If you have any questions, please contact us prior to the meeting!
