North Carolina Telehealth Disclosure & Limitations

Asynchronous (text-based) telemedicine visits at NPCWoods have unique clinical limitations compared to traditional in-person care. Visits are conducted via secure, interactive text messaging and do not include real-time video feeds or a hands-on physical exam. If your symptoms are clinically complex, require a physical diagnostic test, or fall outside the safe parameters of asynchronous care, you will be directed to an in-person healthcare provider, and your visit fee will be fully refunded. Prescriptions are sent to your local NC pharmacy only when clinically appropriate; controlled substances are not prescribed.

How It Works

Three steps. No waiting rooms.
