Telemedicine
Dr. Hwang has offered telemedicine (via video or telephone) since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to both minimize risk of spreading COVID-19 and improve access to medical care.
For a scheduled televisit appointment (excluding physical exams), fee will be 10% less than equivalent in-person office visit.
For unscheduled calls when you have a clinical concern, Dr. Hwang will typically not charge for telemed if you have been seen for that issue in the past month. Otherwise, Dr. Hwang will charge based on level of complexity of decision making as well as time, if a charge is deemed appropriate.
Electronic/portal correspondence for clinical concerns outside the one month window after an office or televisit will be charged similarly to telemedicine if a charge is deemed appropriate.
