Virtual Care – Scheduling Phone or Video Visits

During the COVID-19 pandemic, your health is more important to us than ever. NYC Health + Hospitals offers New Yorkers telemedicine and telehealth services. We have several options such as telephone appointments, video visits, an online patient portal to connect with our health care providers without coming into the doctor’s office or hospital, as well as virtual ExpressCare for urgent care services.

Telephone visits are visits with your doctor over the phone instead of face to face. Your doctor calls you at the scheduled time at the number you give us. You do not need to come into the practice.

All NYC Health + Hospitals care providers offer telephone appointments.

Video Visits

What is a Video Visit?

What is a Video Visit?
A video visit is a video chat with your doctor. Instead of traveling to see your doctor in-person, you can have your appointment with them from home, work, or another convenient location.

Many Health + Hospitals doctors, therapists, and other care providers now offer secure and confidential video visits.
Speak to your doctor to learn if they offer video visits.
Our video visits are done through MyChart.
You must have an active MyChart account for video visits.
