How Do Online Pediatrician Appointments Work?
Once you select your pediatric virtual primary care provider and schedule your first appointment, here’s what you can expect.
Before your visit
Because all visits are online via secure video connection, you don’t need to worry about commuting to the doctor’s office or sitting in a waiting room with your child. Instead, just log in to MyAtriumHealth by smartphone, tablet or computer a few minutes before your visit and make sure your child is present with you on video.
During your visit
Each visit is customized to your child’s unique needs. Depending on the reason for their visit, your child’s virtual provider may ask how your child is feeling, explain recent labs and testing, and examine physical symptoms.
After your visit
At the end of your visit, your pediatric provider will review the next steps for your child’s care. They’ll also coordinate any follow-up visits, if needed.
For the best experience, ensure you have a strong internet connection and your device’s camera, microphone and speakers are working as they should. You might also need your insurance card and a form of photo identification.

Most conditions can be managed over video, but sometimes in-person visits are still needed. This can include lab work, vaccines, diagnostic testing and screenings. Children will also need to be seen in person for conditions like ear infections.
When in-person care is needed, we’ll partner with a nearby Atrium Health Levine Children’s location to coordinate your child’s care. If more specialized services are needed, we’ll seamlessly refer you to the best specialists and hospitals in the region.
Children under age 18 can receive care from a virtual pediatric provider, as long as a parent or guardian is present during the video visit. Parents or guardians can request video visits for children ages 0-17. Learn more about proxy/dependent care.
For people 18 or older, appointments can be scheduled directly with a virtual family medicine provider.
Unlike other types of pediatric telehealth visits we offer – where you connect with a telemedicine doctor or advanced practice professional for sick visits or one-time medical needs – you’re establishing ongoing care for your child with a virtual pediatrician. Your child’s pediatric virtual primary care provider is your first point of contact for a much broader range of services.
The costs, fees and insurance coverage of pediatric virtual primary care are the same as traditional, in-person pediatric care. Check with your health insurance provider for specific details on what your plan covers.
