With MySparrow Video Visits, get expert care anywhere
We know that when you’re under the weather — or you have a sick kid — you’d rather be resting at home than sitting in a doctor’s office. With MySparrow Video Visits, you can access expert treatment from the comfort of home.
UM Health-Sparrow providers are trained to conduct effective, patient-centered Video Visits. They’ll ask you questions about your symptoms (or your loved one’s symptoms) and guide you through an assessment process as they also evaluate the patient’s condition via the video screen.
Most insurers now cover Video Visits. Sign up for the MySparrow Portal and access quick, convenient Video Visits whenever you need them.
On-Demand Video Visits - Available 24/7
For common ailments like earaches, coughs, fevers, allergies, and infections, you can get the same prompt treatment you’d find at a Urgent Care or Walk-In Care location. Like a “walk-in visit” without leaving your living room.
On-Demand Video Visits are available 24/7; with the exception of being closed on most major holidays. You’ll enter a queue through the online portal and be seen virtually by a provider at any of the UM Health-Sparrow Walk-In Cares.
On-Demand Video Visits are an easy, convenient way to get the care you need.
Scheduled Video Visits
As a UM Health-Sparrow patient, you can also schedule a Video Visit with your own primary care physician or specialist. Maintain your relationship with your trusted provider, while skipping the travel time and the wait in the doctor’s office.
E-Visits
An E-Visit is a convenient way to contact a UM Health-Sparrow provider for common, non-urgent medical conditions. Symptom-Specific E-Visits are for acute-care conditions that require medical decision-making by a provider. E-Visits are similar to the types of visits you would see in an urgent care or primary care office but can also be used for specialty consults and medical advice questions. Our providers will review the E-Visit submission and send a treatment plan, via the MySparrow patient portal messaging system.
