With this simple-to-use, cutting-edge technology, you can see a provider face to face without ever leaving home or work, 24/7, 365 days a year.
How Ochsner Connected Anywhere Works:
This service allows you to establish an instant connection to a healthcare provider with your smartphone, tablet or personal computer. It’s easy as:
1. Downloading and signing up
2. Selecting a provider and talking to a medical professional face to face
3. Enjoy free prescription delivery to your home or office
Your provider will listen to your concerns, ask you questions and give you a diagnosis and treatment plan. The whole process typically takes ten minutes or less.

Ochsner Connected Anywhere is ideal when…
· You have a common condition or a minor aliment that doesn’t warrant a trip to Urgent Care or the ER
· You or a family member has a disability that makes getting to an office visit more daunting than the illness itself
· You simply don’t have enough time to go to the doctor
· You don’t have transportation
· There are limited healthcare providers in your area
· You’re traveling and forgot a prescription or need a doctor now
· The weather would make going to the doctor unpleasant or even dangerous
