How to Know if Virtual or In-Person Healthcare Is Right for You
The COVID-19 pandemic has made people uneasy about going to their local doctor’s office. Family doctors have adapted to the pandemic environment by implementing social distancing practices and increased sanitation measures. Still, you can never be too safe, right?
That’s where Elevated Health comes in.
Elevated Health is a Direct Primary Care clinic in Huntington Beach, California. We have been providing telemedicine care since before the pandemic. Whether you decide virtual or in-person care is right for you, we are here to help.
Virtual Care
Elevated Health has offered telemedicine services for years. We know how to care for you virtually. As long as you have a phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and internet connection, this option will work for you.
The main benefit of virtual care is that you can have access to your family practice doctor anytime and anywhere. This saves you the time it would take to travel to the doctor’s office. Virtual care is perfect for people who find themselves unable to drive due to an injury, illness, or medical condition. Doctors are available 24/7 through video call, email, and text communication.
Telemedicine is interactive and affordable. People like to build relationships with their family doctors. Virtual care lets you do this even if you travel a lot. By meeting with the same doctor no matter where you are geographically, your doctor can become your friend.
In the case that we need to do bloodwork, we will send you to a Quest lab close to where you live. This trusted partner has locations all across the United States. The service stays affordable by using your insurance or wholesale lab prices. If you reside near Huntington, Elevated Health has an on-site pharmacy that our in-person patients can benefit from. Virtual-care patients receive medication differently – we can mail medication to you at a wholesale price or send it to your local pharmacy.
In-Person Care
If you live in, or around, the Huntington Beach area, you qualify for in-person care from Elevated Health. In-person care is the most comprehensive way to get cared for by a doctor.
We highly recommend in-person care for children. This comprehensive care gives doctors the ability to check everything they need to. Children should be seen for wellness visits, any serious sickness, and rashes. Sometimes, examining vitals is critical for a diagnosis. Your kids can receive the care they deserve with a family practice doctor here at Elevated Health.
Your doctor will likely prescribe you medication at some point. As we mentioned, our Huntington Beach facility has an on-site pharmacy. This provides customers with medications at wholesale prices. Plus, the added savings and convenience of this pharmacy make it the best service available.
Our in-person patients also have access to 24/7 care. Doctors are available over text and email at all hours of the day. You can reach out to ask questions while on vacation or otherwise inconvenienced.
Rest assured that we are taking the appropriate COVID-19 precautions to keep you safe and healthy. Though we see an end in sight, we require face masks to be worn at all times in our facilities, we’ve implemented physical distancing guidelines, and we frequently sanitize touched surfaces. We want patients to feel comfortable as they visit the doctor’s office to receive the care they need.
