Calvert Internal Medicine Group offers secure telehealth appointments that allow patients to connect with their provider from home. Telehealth visits are available for many non-emergency medical concerns, follow-up appointments, and medication management. These virtual visits provide convenient access to care without traveling to the office.
Telehealth is a secure, convenient and private way to receive care from one of our primary care physicians. It’s designed to handle non-emergency medical conditions and can often substitute for a doctor’s office; urgent care center or emergency room visit. Telehealth is not intended to replace your in-office visits with your primary care physician or to be used in life-threatening emergencies. If this is a life-threatening emergency, dial 911 immediately.
UNABLE TO LEAVE HOME?
NOT ABLE TO TAKE OFF WORK?
NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR AFTER HOURS?
Telehealth visits are typically available for established patients of Calvert Internal Medicine Group. New patients may need to complete an initial in-person visit before telehealth appointments are available.
We offer several convenient ways to schedule yourself a visit.
The methods above only require a working camera, microphone and compatible web browser, no matter the device being used for your Telehealth visit. You simply click the link we send to you in a text message or email and connect with your Provider. The option is yours!
Telehealth is a way to deliver and get healthcare using telecommunications technology (phone, computer). If you hear that your doctor is offering “live telehealth visits,” it means you can now videochat your doctor online!
At minimum, most patients will need a computer or mobile device with an integrated camera and microphone. If your device doesn’t have a built-in microphone or webcam, you’ll need to get those. You also need a decent internet connection that allows you to stream video.
Plus many more! Call us at 410-535-2005 if your reason for a Telehealth Visit isn’t listed.
Please check with your insurance if you have questions about coverage.
Most Insurances have limited coverage when billing for a Telehealth Visit. However, many Carefirst and Aetna plans do provide coverage and we make every effort to bill your insurance before billing you directly for these services. All other insurances we do not bill. Many plans cover telehealth visits, while coverage may vary depending on the patient’s specific plan. Please contact your Insurance representative to get more information.
Yes! Well kind of. If you are physically present within Maryland, DC, or Virginia, you can schedule with one of our providers!
Patients use Telehealth to connect with their doctor for quick treatment and requests, such as prescription refills, a follow-up appointment, an answer to a health question, or urgent treatment for minor medical issues.
Your doctor doesn’t need to do a physical exam to diagnose and treat many conditions. That’s because knowing your medical history when combined with the doctor-patient interaction makes up most of your visit. How you’re feeling can be just as important to your doctor as the results of a physical exam. Plus, being able to see you and view any picture uploads via the Telehealth app gives your doctor the additional visual information needed to make a diagnosis.
The 3 methods above only require a working camera, microphone and compatible web browser, no matter the device being used for your Telehealth visit. You simply click the link we send to you in a text message or email and connect with your Provider.
Yes. If your doctor decides you need treatment, he or she will send your prescription electronically to your pharmacy so it’s ready to pick-up when you arrive.
No, Telehealth shouldn’t be used for emergency care. If you have a medical emergency, please dial 911 immediately.

Yes! The Telehealth platforms are designed to be very user-friendly. Imagine Zoom, but with a few more options to give you and your provider everything you need to have a visit.
