Our Services

Adapting to new management and operational technologies and processes is rarely easy and have far reaching implications. Leaders are required to understand and define the full work content, business processes, requirements and workflows as they exist today, then define and implement what these areas need to evolve into while still maintaining the day-to-day business operations. Working in this way makes this a slow and often ineffective process.

Video Doctor Visits

To schedule a video visit, call your doctor’s office during business hours. For help finding a doctor, call our physician referral service at the number below.

You don’t always need to come in to the doctor’s office to see your doctor. Many NYU Langone doctors and care providers offer video visits, letting you video chat with your doctor from home or wherever is convenient for you.

Video visits are available for adults and for children age 5 and older who are current patients of an NYU Langone doctor. If you are a patient at NYU Langone, you can schedule a video visit with a member of your care team, or find a doctor who is new to you.

To schedule a video visit instead of an in-office visit, call your doctor’s office during business hours. We are also working to offer online scheduling for video visits in the near future.

What to Expect During a Video Visit

A video visit is similar to an in-office visit, but instead of traveling to see your doctor, you can video chat with them from home, work, or another convenient location. Our care providers can assess symptoms, make a diagnosis, recommend treatment, and send prescriptions to your pharmacy.

VIDEO: Learn what to expect during your video visit and how to access your visit using the NYU Langone Health mobile app.

Video visits are scheduled by calling your doctor’s office. To access your visit, we recommend using your mobile device and downloading the NYU Langone Health mobile app. Ten minutes before the scheduled time of your visit, you can log in to your NYU Langone Health MyChart account using the app to access the video chat with your doctor.

Types of Video Visit Appointments

Our doctors offer video visits across a wide range of specialties. Some examples of appointments that can be held over video include new patient visits, follow-up visits, mental health visits, and postoperative appointments.

Video visits cannot be used for appointments that require physical examinations, such as annual physicals or annual gynecological appointments. If you have questions about whether a video visit is right for you at this time, speak with your doctor’s office.

Computer Requirements

The NYU Langone Health mobile app is only available for mobile devices. If you would like to use a computer instead of a mobile device, please make sure it has a working web camera, microphone, speakers, and high-speed internet connection. Internet Explorer and Google Chrome web browsers are compatible with this service. If this is your or your child’s first video visit, please accept the download for the VidyoWeb plug-in when you start your visit.

Cost and Insurance Options

Many insurance providers now cover telemedicine services for adults and children. It is your responsibility to verify that you have specific benefit coverage for telemedicine services under your benefit plan. Your doctor’s office can help you to determine if a video visit is covered by your insurance provider, and we also recommend speaking with your insurance provider directly if you have questions.

For plans we accept, we collect your out-of-pocket responsibility for an office visit at the time of check-in and bill your insurance for the remaining balance, as we would for an in-person appointment. If your insurance doesn’t cover the balance in full, you are billed for any remaining balance.

> 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps consumed each year (EPA)

> 100 billion plastic shopping bags consumed annually (The Wall Street Journal)
- Cost to retailers = $4 billion (est)
Average family accumulates 60 plastic bags in only four trips to the grocery store

Worldwide

A person uses a plastic carrier bag on average for only 12 minutes.

On average we only recycle one plastic bag in every 200 we use.
Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year.
Windblown plastic bags are so prevalent in Africa that a cottage industry has sprung up harvesting bags and using them to weave hats, and even bags. According to the BBC, one group alone harvests 30,000 per month.
According to David Barnes, a marine scientist with the British Antarctic Survey, plastic bags have gone “from being rare in the late 80s and early 90s to being almost everywhere.” Plastic bags have been found floating north of the Arctic Circle near Spitzbergen, and as far south as the Falkland Islands.

Plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most often found in coastal cleanups, according to the nonprofit Center for Marine Conservation.
