If you’re a MyChart user, E-visits are a convenient way for you to receive care from a Wellstar clinician without needing to schedule an appointment or come to the clinic.
In addition to virtual visits and our Virtual Urgent Care, Wellstar has expanded access to care with E-visits. These visits are completed using our secure patient portal and offer treatment for non-emergency conditions.
Here’s how it works
Through MyChart, tell us about your health concern by answering a few questions about yourself and your symptoms, then a primary care clinician will respond in MyChart with your care plan.
Conditions that can be treated with an E-visit include:
- cough
- sinus problems
- urinary tract infection
- conjunctivitis
- back pain
- diarrhea
- vaginal discharge
- heartburn
How to start your E-visit
Log on to MyChart and click Symptom Checker from the menu in the top left of the screen. Select your condition and confirm you are currently located in Georgia. We’ll ask for information about your medications, allergies, health history and preferred pharmacy so that our team can tailor care specifically for you. Next you’ll see the estimated cost for your visit. Finally, click Submit to contact our care team. One of our providers will follow up with your care plan.
“A Wellstar primary care provider will review the information about your symptoms and health history, and we’ll create a customized care plan just for you,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Monika Karakattu. “E-visits offer the same personalized care you’d receive in person at Wellstar, conveniently delivered online and on your schedule.”
