CVS Health Rolls Out Telehealth to MN
People with minor illnesses and injuries, skin conditions and other wellness needs can now seek care through virtual visits.
As a mom of two young kids and a health care professional working in Oakdale, I was excited to read that CVS is expanding virtual visits in Minnesota. Just rolled out, the MinuteClinic Virtual Visit allows people to use their mobile phones or a computer to get treatment for minor conditions.
Thinking about toddler ear infections in the middle of the night and sore throats that need urgent attention, I feel fortunate that I can be matched to a licensed, Minnesota board-certified healthcare provider via my cell phone, 24/7. Not to mention there’s no time limit on the telehealth visit and if an in-person follow up is needed, you will be directed to a provider.
We are fortunate to be one of the 26 states where this service is now available, because minor health issues seem to happen at the least convenient times—but now, there’s another option for treatment.
