If you’re new to virtual healthcare or considering your first visit with Nu Health Rx, you may have questions about how it all works. Will your provider be able to help you over video? What should you prepare before your appointment? How are prescriptions handled? And how do you know you can trust the process?

This step-by-step guide walks you through exactly what to expect from your first Nu Health Rx virtual doctor visit, from logging in to getting your prescription, and everything in between.

Step 1: Logging In and Scheduling Your Visit

Getting started with Nu Health Rx is simple. Here’s how it works:

• Log in to your Nu Health Rx account on your computer, tablet, or smartphone12.

• Schedule your virtual visit at a time that fits your schedule, day or night, weekday or weekend. No need to wait for an appointment; many visits are available on demand32.

• Receive a confirmation with a link to your virtual waiting room. You’ll get reminders before your appointment to help you stay on track.

Step 2: Preparing for Your Visit

To make the most of your virtual visit, a little preparation goes a long way:

• Gather your medical information: Have a list of your current medications, allergies, and any chronic conditions handy45.

• Take your vitals if possible: If you have a thermometer or scale, take your temperature and weight before your visit. This can help your provider make a more accurate assessment45.

• Find a quiet, private space: Choose a well-lit area with reliable internet or phone service. This ensures privacy and a smooth video connection46.

• Have a pen and paper ready: Jot down any questions or symptoms you want to discuss, as well as notes from your provider45.

• Take photos if needed: If you have a visible issue like a rash or injury, snap a clear photo before your visit to share with your provider45.

Step 3: The Virtual Visit Experience

When it’s time for your appointment:

• Click your virtual waiting room link a few minutes before your scheduled time.

• Test your camera and microphone to make sure everything is working.

• Your provider will join the call and greet you, just as they would in person78.

• Discuss your health concerns: Describe your symptoms, answer questions, and ask anything you’re unsure about. Your provider will listen carefully, review your information, and may ask for additional details or photos45.

• Build trust and rapport: Nu Health Rx providers are trained to build trust through clear communication, empathy, and professionalism, even in a virtual setting. They’ll take the time to explain your diagnosis and treatment plan, and answer any questions you have68.

Step 4: Prescriptions and Next Steps

If your provider determines you need medication:

• Prescriptions are sent electronically to your local pharmacy or delivered directly to your door, no extra charge132.

• You’ll receive clear instructions on how to take your medication, potential side effects, and when to follow up5.

• Automatic refill reminders help you stay on track with your treatment plan.

Step 5: Building Trust and Continuity of Care

Trust is the foundation of any good healthcare relationship. Nu Health Rx providers prioritize:

• Privacy and confidentiality: All virtual visits are secure and HIPAA-compliant, so your information is protected68.

• Personalized care: Providers review your medical history before your visit and tailor their approach to your needs67.

• Ongoing support: You can schedule follow-up visits as needed, ensuring continuity of care and a strong patient-provider relationship7.
