Follow My Health Patient Portal: Video Visits

You can’t always make it to your doctor’s office. With Video Visits through the FollowMyHealth Patient Portal, you don’t have to for certain symptoms. You can receive care from your trusted provider through a video call to discuss any issues face-to-face. 

How To Request a Virtual Video Appointment?

Current patients can request a virtual visit via the patient portal once they are signed up or by calling their provider office. If you currently don't have a provider please call (217) 223-1200 and we will help find the right provider to meet your needs. 

What You Should Expect the Day of Your Appointment?

We look forward to providing you care through a virtual visit. Please view the following instructions for details on how to conduct a virtual visit. 

  1. On the day of your scheduled visit, the receptionist will contact you to pre-register you prior to your appointment.
  2. Please click here to review our Blessing Health System Consent to Treat and Authorizations before your scheduled visit.
  3. At the time of the visit, please wait by your phone or device at least 10 minutes before your scheduled virtual visit. If using a desktop computer Google Chrome is the preferred browser.
