Tips/FAQ

• Can I join from anywhere?
  • Yes! As long as you have access to Wi-Fi or data.
• Is my visit private/secure?
  • Yes. We use the video platform Zoom, which is HIPAA-secure. It will be just as private and secure as seeing your primary care provider in person.
• What devices can I use?
  • You can use your smartphone (such as a Google/Samsung Android or iPhone) or tablet (such as an iPad or Surface).
• What else do I need to know?
  • You can read and sign our Telehealth Consent form here.
  • Make sure you check your internet connection. Wi-Fi is best for a great video experience.
  • Use headphones or make sure you’re in a quiet area. This will keep your visit private.
  • Hold tight! Sometimes we can run behind, just like in the office.

Telehealth Visit Guide

Before Your Appointment
1. Download the Zoom Cloud Meetings app for iOS or Android.	Links: iOS (iPhone/iPad) Android (Samsung, Google)
2. Once Zoom is downloaded, test your connection in the area you will be joining your appointment from by going to Zoom.us/Test. Click “Got It” so Zoom can access your phone.
3. Click “Allow” when asked to record audio – this does not mean the clinician will actually record the session. This is just Zoom’s way of asking to use your microphone for the session.
4. Tap the camera and microphone icons to join video and audio.
5. If everything is set up correctly, you will be able to see yourself. If you need help, go to Zoom.us/Support.
During Your Appointment
1. Open the text or email appointment reminder from CHC and tap the link “To join your visit, click here.”
2. This will bring you to a list of telehealth providers at CHC. Scroll to find your provider or use the search field under “Provider List”. Tap your provider’s name and then tap their Zoom Link.
3. This will bring you to a virtual waiting room. You do not need to click anything.
4. Your provider will join the call via video. If you tap your screen during the visit, several icons appear.
