The provider you select will review your intake information prior to starting the visit then they will connect with you. Once you’ve shared your symptoms, they will advise you to go to the ED, make a follow-up appointment with your BMH primary care provider, or send a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

It’s up to the provider; however, if you have a condition that can’t be assessed/treated via telehealth, most will not charge for the encounter.
