Telehealth Services

Central Maine Healthcare now offers telehealth services, bringing you the care you need when you’re unable to leave home. Online and telephone visits are available at most of our outpatient locations.

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is a service provided to connect you with your healthcare provider virtually, without having to leave the comfort of your home. Telehealth includes phone appointments and video appointments with your provider using technology such as a smartphone, computer or tablet. Depending on your needs and the purpose of your intended visit, you are able to speak your provider about medical conditions and concerns, receive a diagnosis and request prescriptions. To find out if a telehealth visit is right for you, contact the Patient Service Representative at one of our outpatient practices. We can discuss your options with you and schedule the visit.

Telephone Visits

Telephone visits are now available in all CMH primary care and specialty care practices, so you can conduct your healthcare visit by phone from the comfort of your home. Available for both current and new CMH patients, these appointments are scheduled by calling your practice of choice and requesting the appointment. Phone visits are the same cost as an office visit and are covered by all in-network insurance providers.

Online Visits by Smartphone, Computer or Tablet

Many Central Maine Healthcare primary care and specialty care practices now have the ability to conduct online visits. You can visit with your provider using a smartphone, computer or tablet. Below is a list of practices that are currently offering this service. We will continue to update the list as more are added.
