Video Visits
A video visit with your Premier Physician Network provider is convenient, secure, and HIPAA-compliant. You don’t need to download a special app or software. No lengthy registration process is required. Getting started is fast and easy.
- Please call your provider’s office to request and schedule a video visit. If you’ll take the visit on your phone, you’ll receive a text with a link for the visit. If you’ll take the visit on your computer, you’ll receive an email with a link.
- A few minutes before your appointment is to begin, click on the link you were sent. You will be taken to a check-in screen. Choose your provider’s name, and you’ll go to the check-in screen. If you’re still having trouble, please call your provider’s office.
- On the check-in screen, enter your name. Click on the check-in button. You will also be asked to enable your camera.
- You’ll move to the waiting room, where you will wait briefly before your provider joins you and begins the visit. In the waiting room, you’ll give your consent to participate in a video visit. You can also watch a quick video on how the visit works.
- Soon your provider will appear on your screen and your visit begins.

MyChart E-Visits
MyChart e-visits allow you to virtually visit your health care provider through Premier Health MyChart instead of coming in for an office visit. E-visits are a convenient option for current patients who are generally in good health. Although e-visits are interactive, they don’t occur in real time, and there is no video component.
Within MyChart, you’ll spend about 10 minutes answering questions about your symptoms. A physician or advanced practice provider will review your symptoms and medical history and respond to let you know a treatment plan or to schedule an in-office visit. Typically, you’ll receive a response to your e-visit request within one business day. Requests made on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday should be responded to the following Monday.
E-visits might be useful for health issues including:
- Allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergies)
- Back pain
- Cold sores
- Cough
- Diarrhea (loose, watery bowel movements)
- Fatigue
- Gout
- Headache
- Heartburn
- Poison Ivy
- Red eye
- Sinus problems
- Travel advice
- Urinary problems
- Vaginal discharge/irritation
- Other
You’re not eligible for an e-visit if you’re breastfeeding, at least 18 years old, or pregnant. E-visits are not available for emergency situations. During an e-visit, your provider cannot take care of medication refill requests, paperwork for disability placards, prescriptions for controlled substances, school note requests, or work note requests.
The cost of each e-visit is $30 and will be billed directly to you. Insurance is not billed for e-visits. If your request for an e-visit is denied, you will not be charged.
Based on your e-visit, doctors can prescribe medication or other treatment options for your health issue.
