The Tulane University Medical Group (TUMG) is a separate entity from Campus Health. TUMG is the provider practice group affiliated with the Tulane Hospital system and Tulane Doctors Clinics. Tulane Telehealth care is delivered by TUMG providers and affiliated community providers. Through this partnership, student visit notes will be available to Campus Health providers for care coordination and student health record completeness.

Tulane Telehealth connects students to licensed providers from the TUMG provider network and affiliated community providers. Our providers can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for your non-emergency conditions.

No. Tulane Telehealth on-demand providers do not replace your primary care doctor. Tulane Telehealth is here when you need immediate care for non-emergent medical issues.

On-demand visit requests are typically answered in 30 minutes or less – all while waiting in the comfort of your own space. Upon requesting a visit, you will be placed into our virtual waiting room until the next available provider answers. Make sure you allow notifications from the app, so you don’t miss when your provider is ready for you. Please do not cancel and re-request visits in an attempt to expedite wait times. Providers will answer on a first-come, first-served basis.

The app will notify you when the provider is ready to see you. If you miss your visit, you will be returned to the end of the queue. The visit request will be cancelled if you miss the provider’s repeated attempts to connect with you. Be sure your mobile number is up to date in case the provider needs to contact you by phone.
