2. You Don’t Have to Sit in a Waiting Room Full of Patients.

This is one reason why virtual care became so popular during the pandemic. You won’t risk catching a cough, cold, or other contagious diseases from other patients. You can wait in your own living room, where you control the TV.

3. There are a Surprising Number of Conditions a Provider Can Diagnose and Treat Virtually.

You get the same care and attention you would get with a visit to a brick-and-mortar location. In fact, people use video visits for all kinds of medical issues, including:

  • Cough and bronchitis
  • Cold and flu symptoms
  • Seasonal allergies
  • Sinus infections
  • Urinary tract and yeast infections
  • Rashes and skin infections
  • Insect and tick bites
  • Muscle sprains and strains
  • Diarrhea
  • Eye infections like pink eye
  • Ear pain
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Insomnia

4. You Can Renew and be Prescribed Medications.

Your provider can prescribe medications as needed through MyUPMC Video Visits. While a provider may need to see you in person for some conditions, they can often diagnose you virtually. And if they can diagnose you virtually, they can call a medication in.

5. Video Visit Appointment Details are Stored in Your UPMC Record.

With a MyUPMC Video Visit, your records are automatically updated and you will receive an after visit summary. This makes following up on your care seamless. Your doctor can see treatment recommendations and prescriptions.

6. Virtual Care is Remarkably Easy to Use.

You only need a smartphone, tablet, or computer — plus an internet connection. You can find UPMC doctors, specialists, and providers who offer video visits by browsing or filtering the list of providers. Simply download the MyUPMC app to your smartphone or visit MyUPMC.com to get started.
