SSM Health's telehealth services enhance access to local specialty care. Delivered by SSM Health Saint Anthony physicians, these services enable specialty providers to engage with patients through the exchange of information, images, and videos. Telehealth's primary benefit is its elimination of the need for patients to travel extensive distances for consultations. Consult your family medicine provider to determine if outpatient telemedicine is suitable for you. Our specialties currently include:
- Endocrinology
- Pulmonology
- Lung Screening
Frequently Asked Questions
Is telemedicine private and secure?
Yes, telemedicine appointments are transmitted through a secure connection and comply with all HIPAA privacy and security regulations. Your appointment is not recorded or stored in any cyber environment.
Will I still need to see my specialist in person at their office?
The necessity for an in-person visit with your specialist will vary depending on the patient, location, specialty, and provider. During your telemedicine appointment, the specialist may decide that a higher level of care is necessary, depending on the complexity of your diagnosis.
