If your insurance policy allows, you can review your allergy symptoms and treatment options via telemedicine. Follow-up visits and sick visits can also be conveniently conducted remotely.

How does a typical telemedicine appointment work with Allergy Associates PA?

Telemedicine appointments are conducted using a smartphone or through an email address. The internet link is secure and HIPAA compliant. At the time of your appointment, an Allergy Associates nurse will contact you to review your symptoms and history of your allergy condition. Copays and/or deductibles will be collected at the time of service using a secure link for credit card payments.

What are the benefits of choosing a telemedicine appointment over an in-person visit for allergy care?

Telemedicine appointments are particularly beneficial for acute allergy attacks or respiratory infections. However, a physical examination by a physician is irreplaceable for more complex allergy conditions.

Is there any preparation needed from the patient before their telemedicine appointment?

Patients who schedule telemedicine appointments should ensure they are in an isolated location for privacy at the time of appointment. You should have a list of current medications, records of time, place, exposures, or a list of foods if a food allergy is suspected.
