Frequently Asked Questions About Telemedicine Services

Table of contents

With the growth of technology and the widespread use of the internet in everyday life, telemedicine has become one of the most popular ways to receive medical care remotely.
Despite its many advantages, some patients still have questions and concerns about how it works, data security, costs, and service quality.

In this post from the Telepezeshk blog, we address the most common patient questions about telemedicine so you can use these services with greater confidence.

Q1: What is telemedicine and how is it different from a phone consultation?

A: Telemedicine means receiving healthcare services remotely using communication technologies. With telemedicine, you can:

  • Talk with a doctor via video, voice, or text
  • Receive an electronic prescription
  • Send and get interpretations of your lab results or imaging
  • Track your treatment progress

The difference from a simple phone consultation is that telemedicine offers a more complete interaction, access to your digital medical record, and advanced capabilities such as sending images, videos, and test results.

Q2: Is the quality of an online visit the same as an in-person one?

A: In many cases, yes. For conditions that do not require a detailed physical exam, online visits can provide equal or even better quality because:

  • The doctor has direct access to your digital health records
  • You can share photos or videos of the affected area
  • You can send your medical documents instantly

However, in emergencies or conditions that require physical examination, in-person visits are necessary.

Q3: How is my information kept secure and confidential?

A: Patient privacy is our priority. At Telepezeshk:

  • All data is transmitted with advanced encryption (SSL)
  • Only you and your doctor have access to your records
  • No information is shared with third parties without your consent

Q4: Can rural patients use telemedicine?

A: Absolutely. This is one of telemedicine’s main purposes. Anyone with internet access and a smartphone or computer can use Telepezeshk. Even with low-speed internet, voice and text consultations are available.

Q5: How much does an online visit cost?

A: Usually less than an in-person visit. On Telepezeshk, you see the cost clearly before starting the consultation. Fees vary by specialty and type of service.

Q6: How do I book an online visit?

A: It’s simple:

  1. Log in to Telepezeshk
  2. Choose your specialty or doctor
  3. Select an appointment time
  4. Pay online
  5. Start your consultation at the scheduled time

Q7: When is telemedicine not recommended?

A: In emergencies such as:

  • Severe chest pain
  • Acute shortness of breath
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Loss of consciousness

In these cases, you should go to an emergency department immediately. Telemedicine is better suited for follow-ups, advice, and treatment of non-emergency conditions.

Q8: Can I use my health insurance?

A: Depending on your insurance plan, online visits may be covered.

Q9: Can I store my medical documents on the platform?

A: Yes. Telepezeshk provides each user with a digital health record that stores medical history, prescriptions, lab results, and imaging reports—accessible anytime.

Q10: Is instant consultation available?

A: Yes. In addition to scheduled appointments, you can select “instant consultation” to connect with a doctor as quickly as possible.

Q11: Can I book appointments for family members?

A: Yes. You can schedule visits for parents, children, or other family members using your account and share their medical files with the doctor.

Tips for New Telemedicine Patients
