Save time and travel with telemedicine

Telemedicine offers all the benefits of an in-person visit with your doctor -- without the travel. A telemedicine appointment is your own dedicated time with your doctor. You get the same personalized attention and excellent care without the inconvenience or expense or leaving town because no matter where you are for your appointment, we're focused on you. 

 

CAMC offers several ways to connect with your doctor through telemedicine

1. Visit a CAMC Telemedicine Center

CAMC offers Telemedicine Centers where you can connect with your doctor through a secure, private video conference. Our Telemedicine Centers give you easy access to CAMC specialists in your community. If you don’t have the technology for a telemedicine visit at home, the ability to travel to your physician’s office, or you simply don’t have the time to drive to Charleston for an appointment, our staff can connect you with your provider quickly and easily.  See our Telemedicine Center locations on a map

When you schedule your appointment at one of our Telemedicine Centers, you will meet with a nurse who will talk with you about your health and facilitate your virtual visit with your doctor. CAMC currently has Telemedicine Centers in Summersville, Ripley, Lewisburg, Princeton and Pocahontas County. If you see (or need to see) a CAMC specialist in Charleston (like a cardiologist, neurologist or urologist), ask about scheduling your appointment at one of our centers. Take a look inside one of our Telemedicine Centers and hear from our patients. 

 

2. Schedule your appointment from home, work or wherever is convenient for you

Many CAMC physicians offer telemedicine visits. If you don't live near one of our Telemedicine Centers and you are interested in scheduling a telemedicine visit, ask your doctor. To find out if your doctor offers telemedicine appointments, look for the "Telemedicine Appointments Available" icon under their photo on camc.org.

3. Call 24/7 Care anytime for non-emergency needs

When you aren't feeling well, you can get prompt medical care via a phone call or video chat using 24/7 Care. 24/7 Care provides access to board-certified physicians, licensed physician assistants and nurse practitioners for non-emergency illnesses like colds, Covid, ear infections, sinus infections and more 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 24/7 Care providers can prescribe medications for a wide range of conditions, when needed. 

To use 24/7 Care, simply download the app, set up an account, and you can request virtual visits anytime. The cost is $49 per visit for the public (most insurances accepted), and visits are free for CAMC employees and their immediate family.

What our patients say about telemedicine

“I went to the CAMC Telemedicine Center in Lewisburg for a follow-up appointment with my doctor about my blood work. I usually have to travel two hours to Charleston, and with gas, traffic and tolls it was a hassle. The Telemedicine Center was only 20 minutes from my house. To cut out the travel was amazing. It was my first telemedicine appointment, and we went over my blood work like we normally do. If you have to travel a good distance, the CAMC Telemedicine Center is worth it. You have the same experience there as you would in person. I was impressed with all of it, and I’m going back for a second appointment.”

Mary Shortridge -- Crawley, WV

 

“I usually have to drive two hours to my doctor’s appointment, two hours home, and I have to take a full day off work. At the CAMC Telemedicine Center in Lewisburg, I certainly feel that I was given the same attention and quality care as if I was in my doctor’s office. My doctor was very attentive and spent 35 to 45 minutes talking with me, asking questions and giving helpful recommendations. The nurse at the center also showed me how she can check my ears and listen to my heart in the telemedicine office and the doctor can hear my heartbeat in Charleston. This is simply amazing.”

 Debra Fogus -- White Sulphur Springs, WV

 

"I was referred by my primary care physician to the CAMC Telemedicine Center in Lewisburg for an echocardiogram. The staff was thorough, attentive and I received the same quality of care as if I were in Charleston. I would recommend the CAMC Telemedicine Center for its convenience, staff professionalism and care."
