With parent/guardian permission, a student may be evaluated by a Certified Nurse Practitioner through telemedicine conferencing. The school nurse will quickly evaluate the student, then contact the parent for permission to evaluate using telehealth communications. After permission from the parent/guardian, the student will be evaluated by the Nurse Practitioner for a complete assessment. Parents are welcome to attend the session if desired.

The school nurse will assist the provider during the evaluation using the equipment as needed. The provider will be able to listen to the heart and lungs with a digital stethoscope. Additionally, the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and skin will be able to be evaluated with the use of a high definition digital otoscope and camera.

Upon completion of the virtual visit, the Nurse Practitioner will contact the parent/guardian and provide follow up instruction and submit an electronic prescription, if indicated, to their pharmacy of choice. A record of the visit will be kept in EOMC’s electronic medical record. A copy of the visit can be provided to the primary care provider upon request. The parent/guardian will also have full access to treatment and visit information through the EOMC Telehealth clinic patient portal.

There are medical needs that will require an in-person evaluation by a medical provider. You may be asked to schedule an appointment with your child’s primary care provider directly if an evaluation by telemedicine isn’t enough for diagnosis.

Nurse Practitioner services are provided on a fee for service basis. Insurance and Oklahoma SoonerCare will be billed. Deductibles will be billed out to the guarantor. When eligible coverage cannot be verified parents/guardians will be billed. If cost of the visit places a hardship on parent or guardian, they are encouraged to contact our Admitting department to discuss options (918-635-3302).

By providing your email address an invite will be sent to register for the telehealth clinic or family medical clinic website. This will allow you to create a password and login, so you can access the visit information directly.

The school nurse will always call the parent/guardian before the telehealth visit is initiated. While we will likely have the written consent on file, we want to ensure the parent/guardian is informed on the health status of their child. We will require a parental/guardian telephone consent before every visit, so you are aware your child needs a virtual telehealth evaluation.

You may participate in your child’s appointment in two different ways. The provider/school nurse may ask you about your child’s medical history or current medications so please have this information available and you may attend the visit at the child’s school site.
