Telehealth at WCSCC

 

Did you know that WCSCC has partnered with Aultman Now to provide Telehealth services to our students? 

Through Telehealth, your student can have a virtual visit with a  healthcare provider from the school's clinic that will include the school nurse and a parent/guardian. 

This service can save you time by:

-Having your child seen by a healthcare professional without having to try and get a same-day appointment with your primary care physician.

WHAT IS TELEHEALTH?

A telehealth visit uses a secure two-way video communication between the Aultman provider, the school clinic nurse, the sick student and the parent or guardian. Medical equipment is used by the school nurse to assist the provider with the examination of the student. The school nurse will use technology through an Aultman Now cart to send video, images and sounds to the provider. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A TELEHEALTH VISIT?
-In addition to being convenient and low-cost, a telehealth visit can keep students in school and parents at work.
-Telehealth can send any necessary prescriptions in to your local pharmacy to be picked up and paid for by you after work or school saving you time.
-Payment is not required at the time of service. Insurance will be billed for any student who has medical coverage. If your student does not have medical insurance, they may be covered through our grant and will receive the visit at no charge.
 
WHAT TYPES OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS MIGHT WE USE A TELEHEALTH VISIT FOR?
Some common issues include pink eye, cough/cold, respiratory infections, sinus infections, ear infections, flu, rashes, allergies, migraines/headaches, and sore/ strep throat.
