Frequently Asked Questions
Email is the best method, as it allows the quickest response. Please note: we will not answer any health-related questions or send health-related information via email. Therefore, we highly recommend that once you make your appointment you create a portal account, as this allows us to securely and freely communicate with you.
If you are unavailable at the times shown on our calendar when trying to schedule your appointment, please send an email to info@telehealthnwcare.com and our team will work to accommodate your availability to the best of our ability.

Yes. The video communication platform works with every browser on every “smart” device, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and smart TVs. There is no download of an app, and no additional account setup needed.
You will simply click the video URL link “Join Video Call”. This link is automatically sent to your email after your appointment has been confirmed, so be sure to save or store the confirmation email so you can easily locate it before your appointment.
Once you click “Join Video Call”, you will be routed to a screen and asked to wait until the Host starts the meeting. Be sure to allow access to your microphone and camera (pop up box will appear).
Once the Host (Nurse) has joined, you will be connected with your Nurse via video. Your Nurse you will be meeting with will automatically come onto your screen at your designated appointment time.
The video screen is setup like a typical video conferencing screen with a camera icon and microphone mute/unmute icon.
If you begin experiencing a medical emergency during your telehealth appointment, if you are unable to contact emergency services (911) immediately and there is no one home to assist you, we will contact emergency services on your behalf and remain connected with you until help arrives, unless there is a technical malfunction. We are unable to connect you directly to any local emergency services, but only able to contact on your behalf. If we become disconnected, we will remain in contact with emergency services until they arrive. We will then reach out to your emergency contact that we have on file for you to inform them of your medical emergency situation.
In the event you find yourself in need of assistance as a result of a technological or personal equipment failure, please contact us at info@telehealthnwcare.com or 1-800-609-6170. If for some reason we are unable to connect with you using the video communication system, we will proceed with completing your appointment via phone.
If we lose connection, we will proceed with completing your appointment via phone. If you are using a desktop, laptop, or tablet please keep your phone close by to prevent a delay in continuing your appointment, in case there is a disruption in our connection.
The video communication system’s database that we use is encrypted allowing full patient data protection. It utilizes intrusion detection systems to continuously monitor its systems for potential threats that may occur at any time. This allows the confidentiality of our patient’s identification to remain protected. The video communication system is fully Health Information Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant, as well as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant. It meets the requirements for properly handling personal data as defined in the law.
Please review our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices & PHI Disclosure Agreement (found under Forms) and review our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions (in the Footer of our website) for additional details on how your PHI is protected and data secured.
