Virtual Care
Great care, convenient to you
Thank you for your interest in finding out about scheduling a video visit. 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.
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
Virtual urgent care
Available to all new and existing patients, 24/7/365, and no more than $45. Schedule an appointment using MyChart.
Virtual primary care
Choose a new all-virtual care team and make all your primary care visits virtual.
Virtual visit options
Explore virtual care options with your current Corewell Health primary care doctor or specialist in MyChart or find a doctor.

You’ll need the following to ensure the best possible experience:
- The latest version of the Corewell Health app
- A quiet place, good lighting, and a strong Wi-Fi or cell connection
- A full charge on your phone or computer
- Your insurance information, driver’s license, or personal ID
- A list of any over-the-counter medications and vitamins

Starting a multi-party virtual visit
To begin a virtual visit with multiple participants, you must sign into your own MyChart account. Utilizing the credentials of the patient will prevent them from joining the visit.
- Log into your personal MyChart through your internet browser or MyChart mobile app.
- For those using a smart phone with face recognition passwords, ensure your security is linked to your own MyChart account, not that of the patient.
- If utilizing the app, once signed in you may be asked to choose someone to begin.
- Please choose your personal patient profile. There may be a “remember my choice” toggle at the bottom to save this step in the future.
- Once signed into your own MyChart profile to verify you have a proxy relationship* with the patient, you will see either the first initial or photo and name of your proxy (or proxies) in the top right-hand corner if utilizing the app, or mid-page in the health feed on the browser page by scrolling.
- To access the patient’s information and appointments, scroll through your health feed until you see your proxy* listed.
- To join the patient’s visit, select the green “Begin Virtual Visit” button.
- Your browser will open a new window. If prompted, answer “Yes” to let the software access your video camera and microphone.
*In many cases proxy access must be granted by the patient and/or a Corewell Health representative. If the proxy has not previously granted and established proxy access, you will not find the patient listed within your MyChart. Please contact Corewell Health MyChart Support at 877.308.5083 for further assistance.
