Health Care – When and Where You Need It

MidMichigan Health offers a range of virtual care options that help you get the care you need, when and where you need it. Virtual care options allow you to get medical advice or treatment remotely, either from your own home or from your doctor’s office to see a specialist at another location.

MidMichigan Health currently offers these Virtual Care options: E-Visits for Specific Symptoms: Submit a questionnaire about your symptoms and receive a quick reply in your secure MyMidMichigan account.

Video Visits with Your Primary Care Provider: For simple medical appointments that don’t require a physical exam, video visits allow you to consult with your own trusted doctor – not a “teledoc” service – from the safety and comfort of home.

E-Consults: A secure electronic communication between your primary care provider and a MidMichigan Health specialist can save you time and travel.

Telemedicine: Consult with a specialist without traveling for an appointment.

The specialist can examine you, ask questions, consult with your local care team and provide expert advice in real time.

MyMidMichigan Patient Portal: Secure online access to your health information and electronic communication with your care team.

Check test results Schedule appointments Message your doctor or care team Renew prescriptions View your health record
