Telehealth

What Is Telehealth?

• Telehealth means having a visit with your health care provider using technology so you and your child can remain at home and still receive the medical care you need.
• Telehealth can be done using a secure video call.

We are offering telehealth visits for many outpatient services. Your health care provider will help determine if telehealth is appropriate for your appointment.

How Does It Work?

Nationwide Children’s Hospital will work with you to schedule an appointment for a video visit. Video visits will be done using Zoom, a free video conferencing service, and your MyChart account. Nationwide Children’s uses a corporate Zoom account that is secure and HIPAA compliant.

To request an appointment, please call (614) 722-6200 or request an appointment online.

Are Telehealth Visits Covered by My Insurance?

Nationwide Children’s is dedicated to keeping patients safe and meeting their clinical needs using telehealth services. Following our mission, our intent is to provide all services, if possible, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

Most insurance companies and state regulations have expanded the use of telehealth. Nationwide Children’s may bill your insurance for these services.
