Scheduling a Video Visit With a Doctor
Video visits are preferred through your Froedtert & MCW account and can be accessed via your mobile phone, tablet or desktop device with a camera. You will also need an internet connection and a quiet, private place where you can talk with and hear your provider. Video visits with a Froedtert & MCW provider can be scheduled for a specific time, just like an appointment in the clinic, during the same hours as your health center.
Schedule your video visit via MyChart direct scheduling on the web or the Froedtert & MCW App, or by calling your health center. You may also schedule a video visit by calling 414-777-7700.
If you have proxy access, you can also schedule a video visit for your child.
Video visits are only available if you meet the following criteria:
- You are physically in the state of Wisconsin at the time of your video visit, as per your provider’s medical license.
If you don't know if your condition qualifies, please call and ask.
What to Expect During a Video Visit
By design, video visits are similar, in both process and duration, to that of a traditional office-based visit. Medical assistants may participate in gathering information, similar to a traditional office-based visit, before you meet with your physician. If your condition requires a prescription, your provider will electronically send your prescription into your preferred pharmacy.
We recommend you access your scheduled video visit 15 minutes ahead of the appointment time. To better prepare for your virtual visit, click here.
After Your Video Visit
You and your provider may decide that you need further care following a video visit. This may include follow-up in clinic, referral to a specialty provider, lab or imaging.
