Virtual Care Services

Kelsey-Seybold virtual care is available for new and existing patients 365 days a year. You can expect the same great Kelsey-Seybold quality when and where you need it. Virtual care options are available for primary care, pediatrics, and over 20 specialties.

Video Visits

With Video Visits, you can have a real-time conversation with a board-certified provider from your smartphone or tablet by using the MyKelsey mobile app or from your computer by signing in to your MyKelseyOnline account. Video Visits are available to new and existing Kelsey-Seybold patients and offer greater access to care with extended hours on evenings, weekends, and holidays. The cost for a video visit with insurance is the same as your office visit copay.

Kelsey-Seybold Clinic offers Video Visit options for adult and pediatric primary care, as well as specialty care, with appointment-based and on-demand (adult primary care only) options available.

An E-Visit is a convenient, affordable, and secure way to receive medical advice for many common conditions. With E-Visits, a patient can submit detailed information about their condition and receive a written e-diagnosis and treatment plan from a certified Kelsey-Seybold primary care or specialty provider delivered to their MyKelseyOnline account in about an hour or less*.

To submit an E-Visit, simply sign into MyKelseyOnline or the MyKelsey app and choose E-Visit from the main menu. Follow the prompts to choose a reason for the E-Visit and submit details about your symptoms.

  • Convenient – Can be submitted 24/7, 365 days a year.
  • Fast – Most E-Visits receive a response within an hour of submission (E-Visit hours apply)
  • Affordable – Cost depends on specific plan, but co-pay is usually $15 or less.

Adult Primary Care E-Visits: 20+ conditions available
Pediatrics: 14+ conditions available
Specialty E-Visits: 8+ conditions treated by a Kelsey-Seybold specialist, M-F 8a-4p

E-Consults (Provider-initiated service)

*Available exclusively to KelseyCare and KelseyCare Advantage members. Provider-initiated, not available to request through MyKelseyOnline or the MyKelsey app.

Another way Kelsey-Seybold Clinic providers work together to provide unmatched coordinated care is through the use of E-Consults. An E-Consult is a provider-to-provider virtual care service that allows one provider quick access to a Kelsey-Seybold specialist's expertise at no additional cost to the patient.

During an office visit, a provider may determine that an E-Consult would be helpful to confirm or enhance a diagnosis and/or treatment plan. The provider will submit an order to the specialty department through our secure electronic medical record and receive a response from the specialist regarding the inquiry. E-Consult results are delivered to the patient by the ordering provider.

E-Consults can save patients time and money by reducing unnecessary appointments with a specialist. Members can have peace of mind that they are receiving the comprehensive, coordinated care they have come to expect from Kelsey-Seybold Clinic.
