Care delivered virtually

Sometimes it can be inconvenient to take a trip to the doctor’s office. In many cases, there’s no need for one. Virtual options are available for nearly every need:

Primary care

Symptoms of minor illnesses or injuries that you can treat at home with a provider’s guidance, such as colds and urinary tract infections, burns, bites, and skin conditions
Illnesses you manage every day, such as chronic pain, behavioral health concerns, diabetes and more
Follow-up appointments

Specialty care

Orthopedics
Pediatric specialty care
Pregnancy and birth care, including maternal fetal medicine
Pulmonology
Sleep disorders
Women’s health
Wound healing

For some virtual appointments with a Grand Rapids specialist, you’ll need to travel to a regional Corewell Health hospital or clinic. A professional there will set up reliable technology for you and may perform a basic in-person physical exam. Ask your care team for more information.

Visit types

There are options to consider when making your next Corewell Health primary care or specialty care appointment. Skip the drive. Save the time.

E-visit

An E-Visit allows you to receive medical care by answering questions in MyChart without needing an appointment. A provider will review your responses and reply with their recommendations within two weekdays.

Your insurance will be billed if appropriate and the most you will be charged is $25.To conduct an E-Visit, login to your Corewell Health MyChart account and select “E-Visit.”

Video visit

See your primary care physician, advanced practice provider or specialist by video from wherever it’s convenient for you from anywhere in Michigan. It’s the same care, even better.

And there are ways to enhance your video visit experience. Similar to tools physicians use in an in-person visit, a TytoCare® Medical Exam Kit allows a Corewell Health provider to take your temperature, listen to your heart and lungs, examine your skin for rashes, and take a look at your eyes, ears, nose, and throat—all from the comfort of your home.
