Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Video Visit?

A: Video Visits enable patients to have follow-up appointments virtually — helping our patients access care more conveniently.

Using a mobile device, the Weill Cornell Medicine app, and a secure internet connection, patients speak with their provider one-on-one, receiving the same high-quality care as an in-person appointment.

Q: Does my physician offer Video Visits?

A: Video Visits are available to existing patients at Weill Cornell Medicine. See the full list of specialties offering Video Visits.

Q: Can I schedule a Video Visit for my child?

A: Yes. If your child is currently a patient of one of our Pediatric Primary Care specialists, you can schedule a follow-up Video Visit by calling your pediatrician’s office.

If your child is not an existing patient, schedule your first visit.

Q: Which conditions are treated with Video Visits? What is not treated?

A: Video Visits are intended for follow-up appointments for minor conditions, including fever and flu. Severe conditions require an in-person appointment.

Q: Can I use Video Visits for Urgent Care? Emergency Care?

A: Video Visits are intended for follow-up appointments. Urgent and emergency care are not available via Video Visits. Please visit Weill Cornell Emergency Medicine for more information about urgent and emergency treatment.

Q: How much does a Video Visit cost? Does my insurance cover Video Visits?

A: Video Visits have the same insurance coverage as in-person appointments. Your copay is the same. Your deductible still applies. Please contact your provider for more information about cost and insurance coverage.

Q: Will I be able to speak to my physician during a Video Visit?

A: Yes. You will speak one-on-one with your Weill Cornell Medicine provider. You will receive the same high-quality care as an in-person appointment.

Q: How do I schedule a Video Visit?

A: If you or your child are not currently a patient at Weill Cornell Medicine Center, schedule your first appointment.
