Types of Pediatric Care through UBMD CareConnect

UBMD CareConnect allows our providers to continue the high-quality care our patients expect from us. If you're wondering if your care needs can be met through telemedicine, we've developed a list of the types of visits that can usually be done through telemedicine. 

This list is not all-inclusive. If you have questions or would like to know if you can be seen through UBMD CareConnect, please call the appropriate division office and speak with one of our team members.

If it is determined that an in-office visit is needed, see the steps UBMD takes to safeguard in-person care.
