Frequently Asked Questions

Telehealth Maine offers virtual visits for urgent care (sick visits),  medical weight loss treatment,  primary care bridging (if appropriate), hormone evaluations and other non-urgent medical care conditions that are not being addressed elsewhere. Patients must reside in Maine or Florida at this time. 

In our Hermon location we are providing medical and aesthetic services. We can provide treatment when sick, management of acute and chronic illnesses, medical weight loss, hormone replacement therapy (also available virtually in most cases), primary care bridge services. Aesthetics offered include neurotoxins ("botox") and dermal fillers. 

Do you have a cough or cold that's lasted more than a week? A new rash? An insect bite that looks like it may be infected? A positive covid test at home? Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea? Possible ear infection or conjunctivitis? Symptoms of a UTI or yeast infection? Most things like this can be appropriately handled virtually and treatment can be offered, however if treatment is not effectively improving the symptoms then an in-person visit with your primary care provider, Walk-In Clinic or ER would be warranted.

You can easily request an appointment at a time convenient for you right through the link at the top and bottom of this page.

A BMI over 30, or a BMI of 27 with other obesity related condition (including sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic pain in weight bearing joints, etc). 

We are not considered a primary care clinic, however due to the significant shortages and long wait lists we are able to help provide temporary "bridge" services to ensure your healthcare needs are being met. With this we can provide preventative care, order necessary diagnostic tests (mammograms, colonoscopies, etc) and manage acute illnesses via our self-pay model. 

Some programs and conditions do require routine labs to be drawn. We can provide an order for labs to be drawn at your preferred location and with your insurance benefits, or you may utilize our self pay in-house lab services which are offered through Access Medical Labs.
