How a Virtual ER Telemedicine Visit Works

A Virtual ER telemedicine visit takes three steps: tap "Start a Visit," talk to a board-certified emergency physician via video, and receive your prescription, referral, or in-person escalation. No app download, no waiting room. Most visits take 10-20 minutes. We are open 24/7.

Three steps

  1. Tap "Start a Visit"

    Open your phone or computer and tap the "Start a Telemedicine Visit" button. You will be taken to our secure booking platform where you enter basic information about your symptoms. No app to download, no account to create.

  2. Talk to an Emergency Physician

    A board-certified emergency physician connects with you via secure video. They review your symptoms, ask questions, and conduct a visual examination. Our physicians are the same caliber you would see in a physical emergency room — not a nurse-only triage or general practitioner.

  3. Get Care

    Based on your evaluation, your physician provides a diagnosis and treatment plan. This may include a prescription sent electronically to your pharmacy, a specialist referral, follow-up instructions, or — if needed — seamless escalation to our physical ER at 5306 Bellaire Blvd with your records already in hand.

What to Expect

Visit Duration

Most telemedicine visits take 10-20 minutes. Your physician takes whatever time is needed to thoroughly evaluate your condition.

Prescriptions

If medication is needed, your prescription is sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. Most prescriptions are available for pickup within the hour.

Cost

We accept many major insurance plans. Self-pay options are available. Payment is collected through our secure booking platform. Call 1-855-FIND-VER for pricing.

In-Person Escalation

If your physician determines you need hands-on care, imaging, or labs, we escalate you to our physical ER at 5306 Bellaire Blvd, Bellaire TX 77401 — without starting over.
