Ochsner Connected Anywhere

Through Ochsner Connected Anywhere, you and your family members can have video appointments with a medical provider or therapy provider via your smartphone, tablet or computer for your primary or urgent care needs. With this simple-to-use, cutting-edge technology, you can see a provider face to face without ever leaving home or work, 24/7, 365 days a year.

How Ochsner Connected Anywhere Works:

This service allows you to establish an instant connection to a healthcare provider with your smartphone, tablet or personal computer. It’s easy as:

1. Downloading and signing up

2. Selecting a provider and talking to a medical professional face to face

3. Enjoy free prescription delivery to your home or office

Your provider will listen to your concerns, ask you questions and give you a diagnosis and treatment plan. The whole process typically takes ten minutes or less.

The benefits of Virtual Visits include:

·       Convenient access to your choice of medical providers

·       Short wait times for urgent care visits (less than 10 minutes on average)

·       Low cost – just $10 a visit for an urgent care virtual visit (pricing subject to change)

·       $85-$100 for a therapy virtual visit (cancellation fee / no show policy charge if not canceled within 48 hours). 

·       No travel needed when you’re not feeling well

·       The peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re getting the right care for you and your family

·       The service is easy, private and secure

·       Ochsner Connected Anywhere providers will be able to access your electronic medical records, allowing for the high quality of care should you need it

Ochsner Connected Anywhere is ideal when…

·       You have a common condition or a minor aliment that doesn’t warrant a trip to Urgent Care or the ER

·       You or a family member has a disability that makes getting to an office visit more daunting than the illness itself

·       You simply don’t have enough time to go to the doctor

·       You don’t have transportation

·       There are limited healthcare providers in your area

·       You’re traveling and forgot a prescription or need a doctor now

·       The weather would make going to the doctor unpleasant or even dangerous

Enhance your visit with a Health Kit.

A Health Kit allows you to take your vitals right from home and send them to your virtual visit provider. Although this enhances your visit by giving your provider a clearer picture of what’s going on, you’re not required to have one to start a virtual visit.

If you use Apple Health, you can choose to share your health information with the doctor during your video visit, such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, blood glucose levels, weight, nutritional information, and respiratory rate.
