I had a doc MH appointment scheduled for April 1. I called to cancel because, frankly, I didnt want to go to my VA hospital because thats where people who are sick with corona virus are!
The telephone representative said that I dont have to cancel, that I can do the appoinment by phone. She put it down to have the doctor call me. (While I hate phone calls as I can not hear, I do have a close caption phone that works fairly well).
I thought I would inform Vets that they "dont necessarily" have to cancel their doc appointments, at least some of the time they can be done by phone. I never had that happen before.
Does anyone know how to set up telehealth where you speak to your doc via some type of online video?
