FAQ
-
What is Telehealth?Telehealth is healthcare provided through a virtual outlet such as video call, telephone call, or even texting. When you have an appointment at WellKC, you will connect with your provider via video call. You will have a face-to-face visit just like if you were in a medical office, only without needing to leave the comfort of your home! You may be asked to show your provider specific areas of concern (like a skin rash or joint swelling) or perform movements or tests as needed so that your concerns can be evaluated as thoroughly as possible. Your provider can evaluate, diagnose, and treat you with this visit.
-
What health problems can be treated via Telehealth?A long list of health problems can be effectively treated and managed via Telehealth. At WellKC, we specialize in the management of primary care and urgent care issues, but we also manage and treat many other common problems. For a more thorough list of needs that we address, please see our Services page. Don't see a specific problem listed? Feel free to reach out and ask us!

How can I be appropriately evaluated without an in-person visit?There are many ways for us to complete a thorough evaluation of you and your health concerns with just a video call. We gain a lot of necessary information just from talking to you and asking the right questions. We can evaluate musculoskeletal issues by having you perform certain movements or physical tasks. We can typically visualize things like rashes, skin lesions, swelling, etc. well via video call, but we may ask you to send us a picture of an area of concern if we aren't seeing it quite clearly enough. For certain issues we may need you to be able to accurately check your blood pressure, heart rate, weight, or temperature at home. If we encounter an issue that does need an in-person evaluation we will help direct you to the proper place to have this done.
