or CALL 202-237-7000 ext. 0 for Medical, ext. 2 for Dental
- Schedule your appointment as you normally would, by phone or appointment request.
- We use Doxy.me as our preferred platform, which is HIPAA-compliant and protects your privacy. There is no need to download any software prior to the appointment – we will provide you with a link to access the call with your doctor.
- You can use any smartphone, but we recommend using a computer for the highest quality. Recommended web browsers are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
- Check your audio and video settings before your appointment.
- Insurance- Once complete, services rendered during your telemedicine visit will be coded appropriately and insurance claim forms will be mailed to you for submission to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many rules and regulations restricting the use of telehealth have been waived during the COVID-19 pandemic to allow patients to access medical care from their home. Patients are responsible for any charges deemed their responsibility by their insurance provider.
Coronavirus Testing
For anyone interested in Coronavirus testing, we are directing patients to GW’s Ambulatory Care Center at 22nd & I St NW (https://www.gwdocs.com/locations/downtown-2120-l-street/).
Many testing centers have been set up in local CVS or Walgreens. If you have symptoms and/or think you were exposed, call your local health department or physician.
