We've all experienced unexpected illness or injury. Many of us can barely find time to see a doctor once a year for a physical, let alone find time to seek care for a cough or cold that just won't go away. The condition requires care, but do you really want to end up waiting hours in the emergency room or a walk-in clinic, only to guess what price tag you'll be stuck with? Who wants to scramble for a last minute appointment, leaving work, for what is probably a minor illness that may go away on it's own in a few days?

 

Also, what happens if your condition calls for an antibiotic? Can you remember the exact names and doses of the medications you take, so you can tell the healthcare provider? If not, will they end up prescribing something that reduces the effectiveness, or interferes with your other medicine? Or what if your symptom is cancer? What happens after you visit? Will you have the insurance necessary to make the recommended follow-up? Will your records be available, or will your Doctor be missing a vital piece of your medical history that might affect future diagnosis and treatment? Don't trade off convenience for piece-meal services which lacks real Continuity of Care that only comes with a Medical Home and a Doctor-Patient Relationship that has been cultivated over time. This is especially important for those with chronic medical conditions of following complicated treatment plans.

Fort Myers Family Medicine offers follow-up care, comprehensive physical exams, and diagnostic testing. This reduces the risk of missing signs of a serious illness, or being diagnosed with the wrong illness altogether. Here, at the Fort Myers Family Medicine/CYBER CLINIC, we give patients easy access for simple conditions, with the peace of mind knowing how much each service will cost.

E-Visits

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) supports enhanced-access physician-patient interactions, including virtual/electronic visits or "e-visits" which occur over safe, secure, online communication systems, AAFP defines an e-visit as an evaluation and management service provided by a physician or other qualified health professional to an established patient using a web-based or similar electronic-based communication network for a single patient encounter. We have partnered with PhEMR to provide these online services to you.

 

Read our Guidelines

 

Guidelines for e-visits:

  1. E-Visits are available only to established patients who have previously received care from the physician's practice;

  2. The patient initiates the process, and agrees to e-visit service terms, privacy policy, and charge for receiving asynchronous care from a physician or other qualified health professional;

  3. Electronic communication occurs over a HIPAA - compliant online connection;

  4. An e-visit includes the total interchange of online inquiries and other communications associated with this single patient encounter;

  5. The physician appropriately documents the e-visit, including all pertinent communication related to the encounter, in the patient's medical/health record;

  6. The physician or other qualified health professional has a defined period of time within which responses to an e-visit request are completed; and

  7. E-Visits should be a payable physician service.
