Telehealth appointments allow patients to meet with a provider face to face through a secure online video connection via smartphone, laptop, tablet or computer.

Your provider’s office will schedule the appointment for you or your child.

To be eligible for a telehealth appointment, you must:

• Be in Kentucky or Indiana at the time of your appointment and use a Kentucky or Indiana pharmacy to fill your prescription.
• Have a MyNortonChart account. If you don’t have a free MyNortonChart account, sign up now.
• If the visit is for your child, establish proxy access to their MyNortonChart account at least a day ahead of time.

For minor illnesses, Norton eCare is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may schedule a video visit or eVisit from your MyNortonChart account.

Telehealth appointments are covered by most insurance, similar to an office visit. Self-pay options also are available.

Use telehealth appointments to see your primary care or specialist provider. You’ll schedule your visit through your provider.

For minor illnesses or virtual urgent care, you can schedule your own Norton eCare appointment with a Norton Healthcare provider through MyNortonChart. Norton eCare offers eVisits and video visits for patients 2 and older.

You must have a MyNortonChart account and proxy access to your dependent’s MyNortonChart account. To request proxy access, sign in to your MyNortonChart account from a computer and go to the “Profile” tab. Select “Request access to a minor’s record” near the bottom of the screen. Enter the required information about your dependent and click “Submit Request.”

Your request will go to Norton Healthcare’s medical records department. Allow one full business day for proxy access to be granted. You will receive notification in your MyNortonChart inbox when the request is fulfilled. Once you have proxy access, you will be able to select your child’s profile and access your scheduled visit.

First, be sure to create a free MyNortonChart account.

If you are having technical issues and are unable to connect at the appointed time, you will receive a phone call from your provider. Scheduling questions may be directed to your provider’s office. Get more information about MyNortonChart.

If you have questions about your telehealth appointment, you can send a secure message to your provider through MyNortonChart. If your symptoms don’t go away or worsen, call your Norton Healthcare provider. If your symptoms become severe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Make sure you’re connecting with Internet Explorer 11 (the most recent version), Firefox or Chrome. Telehealth appointments will not function in the Apple Safari browser. Make sure you’ve installed Adobe Flash Player with the most recent updates. If you are unable to connect using one device, use another if available (computer, mobile device or tablet).

If you are on a computer, make sure you have a webcam set up. It can be built into your computer or plugged in. If you are unable to see yourself, this is most likely an issue with your camera. Check all connections on your camera. If you are on a mobile device or tablet, you must be within the MyChart app and not on an internet browser. Make sure your mobile device settings allow the MyChart app to access the speaker and camera for sound and video. Download the MyChart app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

On a mobile device with a data connection through your wireless provider, try turning off Wi-Fi to use the data connection. Confirm in your mobile device’s settings that the MyChart app has access your camera. Ensure you’ve closed other applications and restart your device if you need to reboot. On a computer, connect and disconnect your video feed to reboot.
