Telehealth appointments provide an alternative solution for meeting your child’s health care needs from the comfort of your home. Contact your child’s pediatrician or specialist by phone or through MyNortonChart to determine whether telehealth is right for you. Norton Telehealth is available for current patients and qualifying new patients.
Telehealth appointments are not for complex, urgent or emergency medical issues. If you have an urgent medical need, call your provider’s office or 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
For minor illnesses, Norton eCare is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for patients ages 2 and older.

What is the difference between my scheduled telehealth appointment and a Norton eCare video visit?
Use telehealth appointments to see your primary care or specialist provider. You’ll schedule your visit through your provider. For virtual urgent care for minor illnesses, you can schedule your own Norton eCare appointment with a Norton Healthcare provider through MyNortonChart. Norton eCare offers eVisits and video visits for patients ages 2 and older.
How do I access telehealth appointments scheduled for my dependent?
You must have a MyNortonChart account and proxy access to your dependent’s MyNortonChart account. To request proxy access, sign in to your MyNortonChart account from a computer and go to the “Profile” tab. Select “Request access to a minor’s record” near the bottom of the screen. Enter the required information about your dependent and click “Submit Request.” Your request will go to Norton Healthcare’s medical records department. Allow one full business day for proxy access to be granted. You will receive notification in your MyNortonChart inbox when the request is fulfilled. Once you have proxy access, you will be able to select your child’s profile and access your scheduled visit.

I am having computer issues.
If you are unable to connect using one device, use another if available (computer, mobile device or tablet). Make sure that pop-ups are enabled so that MyNortonChart can download and install Zoom to connect you to your provider. If you are still having issues connecting, call (502) 861-4461, option 2, for additional support.
I am having camera or microphone issues.
If you are on a computer, make sure you have a webcam set up. It can be built into your computer or plugged in. If you are unable to see yourself, this is most likely an issue with your camera. Check all connections on your camera and close any other programs that may be using the camera; or try restarting your computer. If you are on a mobile device or tablet, you must be within the MyChart app and not on an internet browser. Make sure your mobile device settings allow the Zoom app to access the speaker and camera for sound and video. Download the Zoom Cloud Meeting app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. If you are still having issues, call (502) 861-4461, option 2, for additional support.
My video quality is poor or not showing.
On a mobile device with a data connection through your wireless provider, try turning off Wi-Fi to use the data connection. Confirm in your mobile device’s settings that the MyChart app has access your camera. Ensure you’ve closed other applications and restart your device if you need to reboot. On a computer, connect and disconnect your video feed to reboot.
If you are on a mobile device, ensure that you are using the MyChart app and your web browser to connect. You must go to the App store and download the MyChart app (red folder with white heart).
