What is a Virtual Care eVisit?
Baptist Health Deaconess Virtual Care eVisits are an easy way to connect with a provider online, without an appointment. An eVisit allows you to connect with a Baptist Health Deaconess provider using an online, symptom-specific questionnaire while logged in to MyChart. The provider will review the questionnaire and recommend a treatment plan and request prescriptions from your pharmacy, if applicable. Your insurance will be billed for this eVisit, if no coverage is found you will be billed for $30. 

eVisits are only recommended for non-urgent health conditions.
