What to Expect During a Video Visit

During a video visit, you and your provider will be able to see and hear each other via a secure video connection. You’ll be able to ask your provider any questions you may have and talk about any conditions or symptoms you may be experiencing.

Your provider will then be able to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you or prescribe medication, if needed. If your condition requires further testing or an in-person appointment, your care team will provide you with next steps.

After your visit, a summary with details from your appointment will become available within your UPMC Central PA Portal account and be stored within your medical record. That way, you can access your information at any time and your care team can continue to provide you with the best possible care.
