Internet access, a web camera and a microphone are necessary to use our online link. You can use our telemed portal on your tablet, computer or smart phone!

• Scale

• Blood Pressure Cuff

• Thermometer

• Pulse Oximeter

• Flashlight

• Ruler or Measuring Tape

None of these are required but they will help the doctor get the most accurate picture of your situation and prescribe the ideal treatment to make you feel better.

Online doctor visits vary in price depending on your health insurance coverage. In most cases, insurance covers some of the cost leaving you a small copay. However, we've done all that we can to create the most affordable prices possible for your visit, whether or not you have insurance. We promise you will never pay more than $60 for an online consultation.

We accept most insurance providers through our system and will submit claims on your behalf. Submitted claims are subject to your personal plan details. Coverage is determined based on your available benefits on the date that services are provided.

We treat your online visit as if you were here in person. Therefore, we can accept and treat you during the following normal business hours. We do accept same day appointments as first come first serve. Our current wait times can be found on our home page.

Monday - Friday: 8:30 am - 6:30 pm

Saturday - Sunday: 9:30 am - 4:30 pm

If you use any other Telemedicine service you run the risk of paying twice. If your symptoms are too serious you will be told to go to your nearest Urgent Care and you will pay for both visits. With Lanier Urgent Care Telemedicine if your symptoms are too serious for treatment, whatever you paid for the online visit will be applied toward a visit in our office! Also, you will get to know our Staff who take care of you. Never will you be guessing which random doctor, from who knows where, will be treating you or your family.
