    What Is a Telemedicine Consultation?

    A telemedicine consultation is a healthcare appointment conducted remotely through secure video or other approved communication technology. During a THRYVE consultation, a provider can discuss your health history, review symptoms and existing results, recommend clinically appropriate testing and explain potential next steps without requiring a routine clinic visit.

    How THRYVE Telemedicine Consultations Work

    1. Begin Your Care Journey

      Choose a plan; its labs are ordered automatically. Book your at-home blood draw from your dashboard.

    2. Complete At-Home Testing

      Book your collection from your dashboard, with an at-home kit or mobile phlebotomy depending on the test and your location.

    3. Meet With a Provider Online

      Discuss your results, health history, symptoms, medications and goals, included with the Comprehensive plan, or available as a one-time consult.

    4. Review Your Results

      Your provider reviews relevant findings alongside your broader clinical information rather than interpreting individual values in isolation.

    5. Discuss Your Care Plan

      Your provider explains appropriate recommendations, monitoring or referrals based on your individual needs.

    At-Home Testing With Telemedicine Care

    When testing is clinically appropriate, THRYVE coordinates the collection method available for the ordered test and your location. Certain specimens may be collected using an at-home test kit, while some blood tests may be completed through mobile phlebotomy.

    Your provider reviews relevant results in the context of your symptoms, history and goals.

    Testing is selected according to the clinical question and is not automatically required for every telemedicine patient.

    How to Prepare for Your Virtual Consultation

    A few minutes of preparation helps you and your provider make the most of the visit:

    • Complete requested intake forms
    • Prepare a current medication and supplement list
    • Gather relevant previous test results
    • Write down your main symptoms and questions
    • Use a phone, tablet or computer with a reliable internet connection
    • Choose a quiet, private and well-lit location
    • Follow any additional instructions supplied by THRYVE

    When In-Person Care May Be Needed

    Telemedicine can support virtual consultations and result reviews, but it is not suitable for every healthcare need. A provider may recommend an in-person examination, imaging, specimen collection, urgent evaluation or referral when clinically necessary.

    Medical emergencies

    THRYVE's telemedicine service is not intended for medical emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate emergency care.
