Access to LHP primary care providers is quick and convenient
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (June 30, 2021) – Patients now have another option to quickly access a primary care provider. In addition to same-day appointments, online scheduling and telehealth visits, new and existing patients of Lutheran Health Physicians (LHP) providers can request Telehealth ASAP. With Telehealth ASAP, patients can schedule a telehealth visit with an existing or the next available LHP provider from the comfort of home – without an appointment.
“Easy access to care is important,” says Nicole Rexroth, chief operating officer, Lutheran Health Physicians. “For some people, the only thing more convenient than a telehealth visit is accessing a provider as soon as possible without an appointment.”
Telehealth ASAP is an option in Fort Wayne and Warsaw for any visit that can be managed virtually, via a computer or smartphone. Patients can call (833) 546-4968 and request to be seen via telehealth as soon as possible. Those placed virtually “in line” for Telehealth ASAP are notified by phone when the next available provider is ready to begin the visit. Telehealth ASAP accommodates visits during the practice’s regular business hours.
Many appointments can be managed well through virtual interaction. These may include certain visits for:
- Minor illnesses such as colds and allergies
- Minor injuries such as sprains
- Follow-up care
- Medication management
- Chronic disease management
- Back pain
Most insurance plans cover telehealth visits. Check your plan coverage or ask when you call to make the appointment. To schedule a Telehealth ASAP visit, call (833) 546-4968, option 1.
