Intermountain Connect Care® www.intermountainconnectcare.org a telehealth service is now available to anyone in Utah and Idaho 24/7 via video and audio conferencing by using the Connect Care app on mobile devices.
One of the advantages of the new telehealth service is that the service is tied to the patient’s Intermountain electronic medical record. Providers at Intermountain are able to instantly access the patient’s medical history and medications during the Connect Care visit. Clinicians who meet with patients in person in the future will also have the details of the online visit available to them.
The cost of the visit is $49 regardless of insurance coverage however, some insurers will cover part of the fees. Connect Care providers can prescribe medications and send the order to local pharmacies. If providers see the need for the patient to visit a doctor face-to-face or if the patient needs immediate attention, they will refer the user to the nearest clinic.
