The Advantages of Telemedicine
Telemedicine has plenty of advantages especially when it comes to urology. For example, if you’re experiencing a frequent need to urinate at night or have just started to suffer from erectile dysfunction, making a virtual appointment with a urologist is fast, convenient, and effective.
You’ll be able to get enough information across for your urologist to make a decision and either schedule a diagnostic test or recommend a particular treatment.
When to Make a Virtual Appointment with a Urologist?
It’s best to make a virtual appointment with your urologists when you either have a quick question, something relatively routine to discuss or when you’re sick. When you’re suffering from a urological issue while sick with something like COVID-19, or the flu, you can still get the urological advice you need by making a virtual appointment.
That’s the beauty of telemedicine, your doctors can be there for you when you need them even when you can’t make it to the facility yourself.

One silver lining that has come out of the COVID-19 pandemic is the emergence of telemedicine. It has revolutionized how patients and doctors interact. Telemedicine is defined as medical care provided remotely to a patient in a separate location using two-way voice and visual communication, typically by computer or cell phone.
Telemedicine is increasingly being used for disease monitoring and management of chronic medical and mental disorders.

In-person visits are mostly discouraged until the entire COVID-19 pandemic begins to sort itself out. Surgeries, scans, and other procedures are truly the only reason you need to have in-person visits. All other questions, concerns and details may be sorted out on a telemedicine visit. These may either be over the telephone, or on a video conference.
How to Prepare for a Telemedicine Visit
Z Urology is proud to offer telemedicine visits to all our patients. Now, the most important part about telemedicine appointments, is ensuring that your insurance provider covers them. You don’t want to deal with your insurance provider informing you after a simple telemedicine appointment that the visit wasn’t covered.
Preparation for the telemedicine visit is also recommended. First, you’re going to want to ensure any of the technology being used is fully function and maintaining a connection. You don’t want your phone to die, internet to disconnect or any other error in between to happen mid-appointment. Second, if there are any visible problems that you have detected, images taken prior to the examination can help a lot.
Finally, any important prior medical issues, problems you have been experiencing and any questions you may have, should be written down prior to the appointment. These questions will all be able to be gone through but, you should have a head-start on the visit to ensure everything gets covered.
