Coronavirus Safety Precautions

Whether you need a follow up with your PCP, a specialist visit, or immediate care, Privia providers can connect you with the care you need at your convenience. Meet with a board-certified provider with your mobile phone, tablet, or computer without stepping foot in their office.

Open your email and click the “Start Visit” button or go to your text message and click the link in your text message. If you already have the myPrivia app downloaded, the visit should automatically launch within the myPrivia app.

Remember to use a device with a webcam, microphone and strong internet connection. If prompted by your device, be sure to ‘allow’ the technology to access your webcam and microphone.

We will send a message to the email account or cell phone you have on file with our office. Be sure to complete the check in steps as prompted by the message. If you cannot locate your confirmation message, contact our office and we will send you another virtual visit link.

If you get stuck on this screen and already have the myPrivia app downloaded, scroll up to the top of the page and you should see the myPrivia app appear with the option to “OPEN” on the right hand side. Click “OPEN” to proceed (see screenshot below).

Poor video quality is usually caused by a slow internet connection. You will need an absolute minimum internet connection of 20 mbps to do a virtual doctor’s visit. To test your internet connection speed, visit https://www.speedtest.net/ and press Go. If the test says your speed is under 20 mbps and you’re using wifi, try using a wired internet connection or restarting your router.

An annual wellness visit is a comprehensive medical evaluation, which includes an age and gender appropriate history, examination, counseling and risk factor reduction interventions. It may also include the ordering of laboratory and diagnostic studies. Preventative medical visits are exempt from co-payments. Insurance carriers may or may not provide coverage for screening laboratory or diagnostic studies. If you have an annual wellness exam, and during this visit, an abnormality is encountered or a preexisting problem is addressed and/or additional work is performed i.e: labs, refills, etc, then a separate office visit code may be charged. The use of this additional code will require a copayment to be charged by your insurance plan.

Still need help? Call us at 1-888-774-8428. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8 am to 6 pm EST.

When you are tested for the flu, you are tested for two different strains, Strain A and Strain B. Even though only one test has to be performed, that sample is broken down into two separate samples for testing purposes. You will see two charges on your bill due to this reason.

• Copay: A copay is the set amount your insurance has indicated you are responsible for to cover the cost of a healthcare service. Your insurance may have different copay amounts based on the provider type or location (primary care, specialty care, Emergency Department, Inpatient, etc).
• Deductible: A deductible is the set amount you must meet before your insurance benefits cover your healthcare expenses. You could be charged the full allowed amount according to your insurance plan until you have met your annual deductible.
• Coinsurance: A coinsurance is the percentage of healthcare costs you are responsible for once your insurer covers its share. Coinsurance typically goes into effect once your deductible has been reached.
