Getting oriented

# Find the care route that fits your life.

Choose how you would like to talk about care. A clinic visit takes place in a room. Telehealth is care using a screen, phone calls or exchanges online.

Ask it in plain words

Can this service give me the kind of visit I need?

## Compare two care routes

Focus on who will see you and how the visit works. A location alone does not answer those questions.

- Who would carry out my assessment? What role do they hold?

- What records can I bring?

- Is there a fee if no medicine is prescribed?

- How would I contact the person treating me after the visit?

### Ask an online service

As of September 26, 2026, state rules govern online prescribing, and the rules differ from place to place.

- Is the visit live, or does someone review my answers later?

- Can I ask follow-up questions of the person reviewing me?

- How will you confirm where I am during the visit?

- If an exam needs to happen in person, how is it arranged?

## Then check the same basics

For either route, ask for names and a written plan. Save the answers together so the next conversation starts from something clear.

- The person providing care and their licence details.

- The exact medicine and the pharmacy filling it.

- The plan for later visits and questions.

- The full bill and the terms for leaving.
