Patients Telehealth quickstart

This guide is for patients joining a Telehealth consultation using an SMS (text message) sent to their phone.

Please follow the four steps in the screenshots below to join the consultation.

Useful tips:

  • If you disconnect or leave by mistake, tap re-join to reconnect, or reopen the Telehealth link sent to you.
  • You will not be able to select Join until 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment time.
  • If you join before the appointment's start time, you may need to wait for the doctor to arrive.
  • The link you were sent is valid for up to 24 hours and can be used multiple times.
  • Moving the appointment to a later time will generate another SMS. Make sure you are using the link in the most recent SMS.
  • Hold your phone's camera in front of your face so the doctor can see you.
