Can I use telehealth when we’re traveling?

When using one of our pediatric telehealth offerings, you’ll need to be physically located in Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina at the time of your visit.

Can video visits be used for all types of primary care?

There’s a lot of care we can provide over video, but you’ll still need to come in person for physical exams and lab work. Sometimes during your video visit, your provider will decide it’s best to see you in person. If this happens, you won’t be charged for the video visit.

Do I need an appointment?

No appointment is needed for a 24/7 urgent care video visit. However, if you prefer to see your child’s established in-person pediatrician or pediatric virtual primary care provider, you can use MyAtriumHealth to schedule a video visit. You can also try our Symptom Checker to see if an eVisit with your child’s doctor might be right for you.

What will I need for my child’s virtual visit?

All you need is a strong internet connection and smartphone, tablet or computer with a microphone and camera. You might also need your insurance card and a form of photo identification.

You'll also need a MyAtriumHealth account – this is our free and secure patient portal, where you’ll start video visits, communicate with your child’s provider and request refills.

With any telehealth visit for kids, you’ll need to be their legally authorized representative if they’re under the age of 18. Teens who are age 13 and older may have their own MyAtriumHealth account. Learn more about proxy/dependent access.
