Deciding whether you need to get an X-Ray can be tricky. That’s why urgent care clinics now offer Virtual Care services, so you can get your medical questions answered in the comfort of your home.

A virtual doctor may be able to assess your health and provide advice so that you can make the right decision for yourself.

Telehealth is often convenient, cost-effective, and allows urgent care clinics and doctors to see more patients. Since not all patients actually need an X-ray than they could if everyone that might need an X-Ray had to come in person for an assessment.

So, if you’re unsure whether getting an X-ray is right for your health, consider asking a medical professional through virtual care.

What is Virtual Care (AKA Telehealth)? 

Virtual care is a healthcare service that allows you to consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional via video chat.

Virtual care, also known as telehealth, revolutionized the medical world by allowing doctors and medical providers to treat patients remotely.

By utilizing telecommunications technologies like secure messaging and video conferencing, virtual care allows people to access the medical services they need without going to a doctor’s office.

Virtual care may be especially beneficial for those living in rural areas or with certain disabilities, that would make an in-person meeting more of a challenge.

You no longer need to sit in a waiting room for hours, only to be seen for five minutes!

A Virtual Doctor can Assess if you Need an X-Ray 

One of the best things about virtual care is that it gives you access to doctors who can assess whether you need an X-ray.

In most cases, they’ll be able to tell from your symptoms whether an X-ray is necessary. And if they do think you need one, they can refer you to a specialist who can provide you with the care you need.

Follow-Up With Virtual Care 

Once you’ve seen a doctor and gotten an X-ray, remember to follow up with virtual care! Many doctors may recommend that you follow up after your X-ray to ensure everything is okay.

And if you do have a more severe condition, virtual care can help connect you with the resources you need to get the treatment you deserve.

Virtual Care Vs. In-Person Visits 

For some conditions, virtual care may be enough to diagnose a condition and provide treatment without additional tests like an X-Ray.

For instance, if you have a sprained ankle that’s been properly taken care of, a doctor may be able to make a diagnosis through a video call without additional testing—like an X-Ray.

However, the patient and their doctor should always make decisions based on the specific circumstance.

Bottom Line

Virtual care is revolutionizing the way we get healthcare.

If you’re ever unsure whether you need an X-ray, consult with a virtual doctor. They may be able to assess your symptoms and refer you for further testing if necessary.

And because many insurance companies cover virtual care services, you’ll likely have to pay your regular co-pay.

You may find that telehealth is the best invention since sliced bread!
