Step 1: Login to myPRES​
As a Presbyterian plan member, you can access Video Visits from MyHealthPlan within the myPRES dashboard.
Step 2: Request Your Video Visit
You will need to enter your symptoms and confirm your contact information. If you have a copay, you will also need to enter your payment information. A care coordinator will call you after you request a visit and place you into the Waiting Room queue.
Step 3: Your Visit
Within minutes, you will connect with a medical provider. He or she will ask you to describe your medical issue, offer a diagnosis and medical advice, and, if a prescription is appropriate, send one to your pharmacy. Expect your visit to take about 10 minutes once connected.
Step 4: Get Your Visit Summary
Within 24 hours or less following your visit, your visit summary will be available to view/print. Return to your Presbyterian Video Visit profile account via myPRES anytime to review past medical information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my own doctor with a Video Visit?
A Video Visit gives you access to a nationwide network of board-certified providers, allowing you to request a visit from anywhere in the United States.
If you wish to see your own local provider using a video appointment, you will need to schedule that directly with your provider. Standard co-pays will apply, as with in-person visits.

Once inside the Video Visit interface, the parent will see a list of minor children and can select who the visit is for.
