NATIVE HEALTH's Medical and Behavioral Health Virtual Visits.

NATIVE HEALTH provides a virtual health care option. A virtual visit is done via phone, tablet, or computer and can be done on the phone or through Zoom where you can actually see and talk to the provider. No special equipment or apps are needed. Your provider can cover a wide range of topics such as illness, infection follow up, medication refills, high blood pressure questions, parenting issues, lab results, and much, much more. COVID-19 testing available.

Please call (602) 279-5262 and we will do our best to set you up with the provider of your choice. NATIVE HEALTH accepts AHCCCS and most private insurance. NATIVE HEALTH is here for you.

NATIVE HEALTH Virtual Visits offers the following:

1. In person/in office means that your session is conducted with you and your provider in the office.
2. Telehealth means that your session is conducted through Zoom, which connects you with both audio and video components, for your session.

• If you want your session to be held in-person/in office, your Provider will have limited days and times that they are in the office to schedule an appointment with you.
• Please provide your most current up-to-date contact information when you schedule your appointment. 

We are here to support you and make your care as easy as possible, the way you want and when you want.

The care you need with the convenience you want

Virtual visits are available for routine appointments, medication renewal requests, help with your diabetes or high blood pressure or if you just don’t feel well.  Behavioral health services include psychiatry and individual counseling, with group services now offered in an individual counseling format.

• No special software, apps or passwords needed.
• Same-day appointments available.

If you have an existing medical or behavioral health provider at NATIVE HEALTH, you’ll be paired with that provider whenever possible. If it is determined that an in-person visit is needed, an appointment can be made for you during your virtual visit.

Care is a click away

You’ll receive a text or email link 15-30 minutes before your scheduled appointment. One click opens the virtual waiting room, where your provider will join you shortly to start your visit. This visit is covered by AHCCCS.

Schedule your appointment now by calling NATIVE HEALTH at (602) 279-5262.
