Virtual Video Visits

You can use Duke MyChart to request a virtual appointment with a provider you have already seen.

If you need to be seen by a new doctor, please call 855-855-6484. We will help you make an appointment with the right provider and assess if a virtual or in-person visit can meet your needs.

Use the Same Steps to Change Existing Appointments
You can also call your provider to request a change. Your provider or clinic staff will determine whether a virtual or in-person visit is more appropriate.

Duke telehealth options work best for common medical conditions that don’t need hands-on medical care, such as urinary infections, skin complaints like rashes and minor burns, pink eye, and seasonal allergies. Choose from these two options.

Duke Virtual Urgent Care
Use Duke Virtual Urgent Care when you want medical attention for a minor medical issue and your doctor isn't available. You must be a Duke patient, age six or older, and you must have a Duke MyChart account to schedule an appointment. Virtual visits take place between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm and may be covered by insurance as an urgent care visit. Co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles apply.

Duke Health Anywhere
Duke Health Anywhere is a virtual urgent care option available 24/7 for people who are not Duke patients, or who do not have a Duke MyChart account. Your virtual visit will be with a board-certified provider through a mobile device or computer with a webcam. Duke Health Anywhere does not accept insurance. Visits cost $59. 

If you are a Duke patient, Duke Health Anywhere is a good option after 8:00 pm and before 8:00 am when Duke Virtual Urgent Care is not open. It is also a resource when Duke virtual urgent care does not have a convenient appointment time available.
