What is a telemedicine appointment?

A telemedicine appointment is virtual medical care using an internet connection. At Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions, Dr. Passarelli sees patients from anywhere in the states of Illinois, Arizona, and New York.

During telemedicine appointments, you’ll connect with Dr. Passarelli through your computer, tablet, or smartphone. All you need is a stable internet connection. Finding a quiet spot for your private appointment with Dr. Passarelli is best. 

As part of your telemedicine care, Dr. Passarelli discusses your needs, assesses your condition, reviews your medical history, and can also provide a prescription or renew your current medication if needed.  

When might I need telemedicine?

Many Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions patients opt for telemedicine because it’s convenient. Telemedicine is ideal when you need to see a doctor but don’t have the time or ability to leave home or work. 

Some of the most common issues treated through telemedicine are:

• Skin rashes
• Colds
• Flu
• Strep
• COVID-19
• RSV
• Ear infections
• Yeast infections
• Urinary tract infections  
• Plantar fasciitis
• Diabetes and other chronic conditions 
• Mental health care
• School/Work Note
• Weight management (weight loss plan)

Telemedicine can substitute for most primary and urgent care visits, so if you need help with anything that’s not listed here, reach out to the office to discuss your needs and make an appointment. 

How much do telemedicine visits cost?

There’s no per-visit charge for telemedicine for members of the concierge medicine program. With concierge medicine, a monthly or yearly fee gives you extra access to customized medical care, including telemedicine and office visits and direct contact with Dr. Passarelli. 

If you’re not a member of Medicare or the concierge medicine program, the current price for telemedicine visits is $99. 

Are there telemedicine alternatives if I’d prefer an in-person visit?

Absolutely — at Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions, Dr. Passarelli focuses on delivering top-notch medical care that fits into the unique life of each patient. She sees patients in the Hoffman Estates office if telemedicine isn’t right for you. And, if you’re in the Chicagoland area and join the concierge medicine program, you can even request a house call.
