Concierge Medicine

    What Is Telemedicine in Concierge Medicine?

    Haute MD Editorial Team

    Telemedicine in concierge medicine refers to video and secure messaging visits with your concierge physician — typically used for follow-ups, acute non-urgent concerns, prescription management, and travel care, while complementing in-person evaluations.

    What concierge telemedicine looks like

    Video visits with your own physician (not a triage pool), secure messaging for non-urgent questions, and remote prescription management with the same continuity as in-person care.

    Why it works well in concierge

    Because you have an existing relationship with the physician, video visits are clinically richer than telehealth visits with a stranger — your history, exam baseline, and treatment context carry forward.

    What to evaluate

    Whether video visits are with your physician (not a covering pool), the platform's privacy posture, and how the practice handles cross-state travel.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I do a first visit by video?

    Most practices require an initial in-person visit, then offer video for follow-up.

    Are prescriptions allowed?

    Yes, with limits on controlled substances and state-by-state rules.

    Is it covered by insurance?

    Concierge telemedicine is typically included in the membership; insurance may apply only to billable services.

    Can I see my doctor while traveling?

    Often yes, subject to state licensure restrictions.
