What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine uses advanced technology to provide medical care at a distance. When you choose telemedicine, you’ll receive high-quality medical treatment from the safety and comfort of your home, office, or virtually anywhere by connecting online with the Utah Endocrinology Associates team.

What services are available through telemedicine?
The team at Utah Endocrinology Associates provides many services through online video appointments. By their nature, some services, such as diagnostic imaging and blood work, require an in-person visit. Otherwise, you can receive most of your medical care through telemedicine.
You may use telemedicine for new patient consults, follow-up appointments, or when you need to connect with your provider because new symptoms or problems appear. Telemedicine is also a convenient way to ask questions about your ongoing treatment.
The providers at Utah Endocrinolgy Associates also manage your medications via telemedicine. If you have any concerns about side effects or you need an appointment before getting a prescription refilled, you can simply schedule a telemedicine appointment.

To use telemedicine, you need to have Internet access and a device with video capabilities, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Then you connect online following the instructions provided by Utah Endocrinology Associates.
Is telemedicine secure?
All communication between you and Dr. Falahati and colleagues at Utah Endocrinology Associates, as well as any documents you complete or upload online, are secure and confidential. HIPAA is a federal law that protects your privacy and your online connection uses HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software.
Does insurance pay for telemedicine?
