Frequently Asked Questions

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 virtual urgent care for minor illnesses, 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.

To ensure a smooth connection, complete the following tasks well in advance of your appointment:

Make sure you enable pop-up windows and allow Zoom to be installed and downloaded. You do not need to log in to Zoom or have an account to connect.

Do not be alarmed if you wait a few moments for your provider to connect. The provider will call you if you are unable to connect.

  • Make sure your mobile device settings allow the Zoom app to access the speaker, microphone and camera for sound and video.
  • For the best connection, close any other applications.

  • Select “Appointments,” then select your upcoming appointment to complete eCheck-in. If the visit is for your dependent, be sure you have proxy access and select their profile before selecting “Appointments.”
  • When you are ready, select “Begin Visit” up to 10 minutes prior to your appointment time to connect with your provider. This will prompt the Zoom app to open.

Make sure that pop-ups are enabled so that MyNortonChart can download and install Zoom to connect you to your provider. If you are still having issues connecting, call (502) 861-4461, option 2, for additional support.

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 and close any other programs that may be using the camera; or try restarting your computer.

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 Zoom app to access the speaker and camera for sound and video. Download the Zoom Cloud Meeting app from the Apple App Storeor Google Play. If you are still having issues, call (502) 861-4461, option 2, for additional support.

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 Zoom app has access your camera. Ensure you’ve closed other applications. Restart your device. On a computer, connect and disconnect your video feed to reboot it. If you are still having issues, call (502) 861-4461, option 2, for additional support.
