DuPage Medical Group Now Offering Video Visits to Patients

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.—DuPage Medical Group, the largest independent, multi-specialty physician group in the Chicago area, launched video visits today for non-urgent and non-emergency conditions. The video visits are available to primary care patients through DMG’s online patient portal and mobile app, MyChart.

Prior to making video visits available to patients, DMG conducted a focused pilot program over a period of several months, in order to assure quality and effectiveness. All pertinent health information obtained from video visit sessions will become a part of the patient’s medical record, and DMG MyChart users can conduct them from virtually anywhere within the state of Illinois. The cost of a video visit is $50 per visit.

“At DMG, we stand for physician-led care and we continue to place a high premium on convenience,” said DMG President Dr. Paul Merrick. “That means we give our patients the ultimate access to quality care with online scheduling, email visits and now video visits. We look forward to connecting with patients when and where they need it most, including from the convenience of their home or office.”

A list of the non-urgent conditions appropriate for DMG video visits includes:

• Acne
• Anxiety Depression
• Back Pain
• Birth Control/Family Planning
• Cold Respiratory Symptoms
• Constipation
• Cough
• Diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Heartburn/Reflux
• Minor Injuries
• Rash
• Red Eye
• Refills
• Seasonal Allergies
• Smoking Cessation
• STD Questions
• Travel Medicine
• Urinary Symptoms
• Vaginal Discharge

In addition to video visits, patients can now also schedule appointments with DMG primary care physicians for annual physicals, well-child checkups and follow-up visits through MyChart. DMG plans to begin offering appointment-scheduling capability with additional providers, such as specialists, in the near future.

To get started with the video visit process or other DMG tele-health services, including e-visits, online scheduling and provider information, patients can log on to MyChart.DuPageMedicalGroup.com.
