Telehealth services let you see a doctor, nurse practitioner, or specialist by phone or video call without leaving home. Medicare Advantage plans often enhance Part B telehealth with 24/7 nurse lines, $0 urgent care telehealth visits, and virtual primary care.

Common uses include minor illness treatment, prescription renewals, follow-up visits, mental health counseling, and specialist consultations.

Telehealth is especially valuable for rural NC and SC residents who face long drives to reach specialists or urgent care centers.
