Telehealth & Virtual Care Services in Omaha, Nebraska

Telehealth, or telemedicine, is becoming popular in the U.S. as more patients embrace out-of-office virtual healthcare visits. Telehealth lets you enjoy medical services without visiting your medical provider at the office. At Nebraska Home Pediatrics & Parents we help you connect to your child’s board-certified, credentialed, and licensed nurse practitioner whenever and wherever it’s most convenient for you.

We ask you to book an appointment so a provider will be available to complete the virtual visit. The online meetings are conducted during our regular working hours.

How does Telehealth work?

With telehealth, the provider cares for the patient without an in-person office visit. Generally, anything done by the patient’s medical provider without the presence of the patient in the clinic is considered telehealth.

At Nebraska Home Pediatrics & Parents, telehealth appointments are available to both children and adults who are physically in the state of Nebraska. Sometimes children under two years may need to schedule an in-clinic appointment as they are at a higher risk of becoming very ill quickly. To access telehealth services in Nebraska, you must have access to an electronic device with microphone capabilities, such as a laptop or smartphone. We can help new patients create a patient portal where you can digitally sign consents and securely provide us with your driver’s license and insurance card. You and your child can participate in telehealth visits from your home and other private locations within Nebraska.

Reasons to Use Telehealth

People in Nebraska use telehealth and virtual care services for various reasons. Telehealth is a convenient way to care for you or your child’s health without affecting your daily routine. Instead of asking for a day off or closing your business for a medical appointment, you can schedule an online virtual visit while at work or at home to ensure your child gets proper care. With telehealth, you can enjoy the following:

Privacy

If you or your child are uncomfortable being around people when they’re sick, telehealth may be helpful. Like our pediatric in-home health care visits, your child can stay home, and the medical provider can assess them there. This provides the comfort and privacy needed for a speedy recovery. It’s also important to know that our systems are highly secured to protect patient information.

Convenient Care

You no longer need to miss essential engagements because of a medical appointment. You can meet the medical provider in the comfort of your home or office via your smartphone or computer.

Shorter Wait Times

Waiting to see a medical provider can be really frustrating. Although Nebraska Home Pediatrics & Parents takes pride in being efficient with our scheduling, telehealth can save you time in your already busy lives. Scheduling a telehealth appointment means you can skip the travel time to and from the clinic, allowing you to see your provider without feeling like you’re wasting time.

Telehealth Common Conditions

Some of the common conditions treated via telehealth include:

  • Allergies
  • Common cold
  • COVID*
  • Croup
  • Influenza*
  • Pink eye
  • Simple bone/muscle injuries
  • Sinus infection
  • Skin conditions such as acne and eczema
  • Swimmer’s ear

*In order to continue good antibiotic stewardship and evidence-based care, our providers may request you come to the clinic for testing to confirm – or rule out – a diagnosis. This is typically a very quick stop to the clinic and sometimes it can be completed in our drive-thru testing station at your convenience.
