There are no states where we don’t offer telemedicine, but some states have different video/audio visit requirements. When a visit geolocates to a state that requires video conferencing, the audio option will not be available.
Virtual Mental Health Care
Virtual Mental Health Care is eligible for sharing through a teletherapy provider approved by Impact.

Virtual Mental Health is considered a Specialist for provider fee purposes and is subject to the PRA and co-share.
Can a doctor prescribe medications through telemedicine?
Yes. When the doctor considers that medication is warranted, they can write a prescription for a non-narcotic medication (i.e., non-controlled substances), which can be sent directly to the pharmacy of your choice.*
As soon as your consultation is over, your prescription will be sent electronically to your pharmacy. If for any reason, your pharmacy is unable to receive e-prescriptions, a traditional prescription will be generated for the doctors to sign and fax. All prescriptions are fully compliant and include all of the required information.
Is there a list of conditions and medications that a doctor won’t treat or prescribe through telemedicine?
Yes, currently, our providers do not currently treat the following conditions through urgent care telemedicine.
- Emergency situations (bleeding, heart attack, suicidal thoughts).
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).
- Urinary tract infections in males.
- Urinary tract infections in females under 18 years of age.
- Children under 3 years of age with a fever.
- Children under 12 years of age with ear pain.
Children under 3 with a fever need to be seen immediately by a doctor in an office setting.
Children under 12 years with ear pain can be treated through telemedicine if the pain is due to a virus (e.g.,colds) allergies, or external infection.
When the likelihood of an internal bacterial infection is high, which may require antibiotics, children should be seen immediately by a doctor in an in-office setting.
It is recommended that you contact your primary care doctor, go to an urgent care center, or the nearest emergency room, depending on the severity of the condition.
