About Pulmonary Telemedicine at UPMC
At UPMC, we offer video visits for:
- First-time consults
- Second opinions
- Follow-up care
With the use of video visits, your provider can learn as much about you as they would in-person. This helps you to save time and conveniently manage your care from home.
Is a Pulmonary Video Visit Right for Me?
UPMC's lung experts offer video visits for both new and returning patients.
A video visit with a UPMC pulmonologist is ideal if you have any of the following conditions:
- Allergies.
- Asthma.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Sleep apnea.
- And more.
You may still need to visit a UPMC facility for in-person care such as x-rays, bloodwork or lung function testing, but having an initial video visit can help your provider know which tests you may need.
After testing, video visits provide an easy way for you to discuss your results with your doctor and receive on-going care.
