A video visit connects you with a provider who can discuss your concerns virtually using a smartphone, computer, or tablet. During the visit, your provider will be able to see and assess your skin concerns, much like they would in person.
Before your scheduled video visit:
You may also be asked to send digital images prior to your video visit via MyUPMC message as instructed by your dermatology office. Please know that just like a regular visit, the provider may not join right at the scheduled time of the appointment. They will join the video visit as soon as they can. Learn more about preparing for your video visit.
*If the scheduled video visit is for your child, you will need proxy access. Proxy access allows you to manage the care of your child through your MyUPMC account. Learn more about gaining MyUPMC proxy access.

You will use the camera on your phone, tablet, or computer to see yourself and other video visit attendees on the screen. The visit will be like an in-person visit where you can both ask and answer questions, and the provider can view a specific area of your body with the camera, such as an incision. Your provider can also order prescriptions and therapies just as they do for in-person visits.
