Cottage Virtual Care – Spanish Now Available
Online service provides 24/7 treatment for common conditions
To help increase access to care, Cottage Health is excited to announce that Cottage Virtual Care is now offered in Spanish. Launching today for California residents, Cottage Virtual Care – Spanish is always open, offering 24/7 coverage for virtual care visits.
Anyone can visit cottagehealth.org/atencion-virtual using a smartphone, tablet or computer to start a visit in Spanish. Patients start by creating an account and entering their symptoms and health information. Choose from an online interview or have a video consultation with a Cottage Health provider. Within an hour, users receive a treatment plan, and – if needed – prescriptions are automatically sent to a pharmacy of choice.
Common medical conditions treated via Cottage Virtual Care include colds, flu, skin rash, urinary tract infections and much more. All Cottage Virtual Care providers are credentialed through Cottage Health. Visits are offered at a low cost, without the need for insurance, for both existing and new patients. The cost is $29 for an online interview and $39 for a live video visit, payable by credit, debit, or health savings card. If the patient’s condition cannot be treated virtually, individuals are not charged for the visit cost.
To start a visit, learn more about conditions that can be treated virtually or watch our tutorial videos on how to complete a virtual visit, go to cottagehealth.org/atencion-virtual. Cottage Virtual Care, the online service from Cottage Health that connects patients with Cottage providers, has achieved over 22,000 visits since its launch in December 2019.
“One of our goals is always increase access to care for our community,” said Dr. Christophe Le Renard, Chief Medical Information Officer, Cottage Health. “This project was a community partnership as focus groups helped with the design.”
Anyone in California who is 18 years old or older can create an account and dependents can be included. Visits for children under 18 must be completed by a parent.
