Great care, convenient to you

Video visits are a convenient way to receive care without going to a hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office. During a video visit, you will receive the same quality care and personal attention as you would during an in-person appointment. Video visits allow you to get care from wherever you are in Michigan, saving you the extra hassle and cost of a road trip.

We think care should be easier to access. It's the reason we have the broadest range of virtual services in Michigan.

Three ways to receive care, right where you are in Michigan

Virtual Urgent Care

Available to all new and existing patients, 24/7/365, and no more than $45. Schedule an appointment using MyChart. See illnesses and conditions we treat with virtual urgent care in our symptoms guide.

Virtual Primary Care

Choose a new all-virtual care team and make all your primary care visits virtual.

Primary care or specialist virtual visits

Your doctor will only offer a virtual visit when it’s appropriate for your care. If it’s a good fit, you’ll receive this option from our schedulers or when scheduling in MyChart. There are hundreds of virtual appointments available. They are commonly offered for:

  • Common concerns like cold, flu, sinus issues, rashes, and more
  • Follow-up visits, such as medication checks and result reviews
  • Ongoing conditions such as diabetes, behavioral health concerns, and chronic pain
  • And more, based on your doctor’s recommendation

Get ready for your virtual visit

You’ll need:

  • To be located in Michigan
  • A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and speaker
  • Fully charged device
  • The Corewell Health app if you are using a smartphone or tablet.
  • A Corewell Health MyChart account
  • Strong Wi-Fi or cell connection
    • Tip: Many libraries have private rooms and offer free Wi-Fi if you don’t have it at home
  • Your insurance card and a driver’s license or personal ID
  • Medications and health questions you’d like to discuss
  • Optional: Invite a friend/family member to join your visit

Your virtual visit in three easy steps

Step 1: Get the Corewell Health app and log in to MyChart

Download the free Corewell Health app from your smartphone or tablet’s app store, then sign in to your MyChart account.

Prefer a computer? You can also access MyChart at mychart.corewellhealth.org.

If you don’t have a MyChart account, you can create one in the app or online.

Step 2: Complete eCheck-in and test your hardware

Up to two days before your appointment, complete the required eCheck-in questionnaire in your “Visits” section.

At this time, you can also test your camera, microphone, and speaker to make sure everything is working properly.

Step 3: Start your visit

At the time of your appointment, log in to MyChart through the Corewell Health app or an internet browser. Find your appointment and click “Begin Video Visit.”

If you’re using a TytoCare™ home exam kit but have not used it previously, you’ll also need to:

  • Download the TytoCare app (Note: You do not need to create an account)
  • In the menu, select "TytoCare Pairing," which will launch the TytoCare app
  • Follow the in-app instructions to complete device setup and pairing
