What is a Video Doctor Appointment?

Video doctor appointments are a convenient and secure way to help you receive care when you need it. Avoid the time and cost associated with an in-person visit and speak to a Beaumont doctor using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

A Video Appointment is a scheduled appointment in which you are connected to your healthcare provider through myBeaumontChart for a live online video chat. You will be able to see, hear, and speak to your doctor, similar to Facetime or Skype.

To complete a Video Appointment with your doctor, you must have a myBeaumontChart account:

Beaumont Urgent Care

For your convenience, most of our Beaumont Urgent Care locations offer video visits. Video visits are available to all Michigan residents from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., seven days a week. Video visits are a great way to triage symptoms, provide education and care tips to patients who may not be able to leave home.

Preparing for Your Video Appointment

Video Appointments at Beaumont Health are completed using myBeaumontChart. Patients can log in on their smartphone (Apple or Android) or through a computer with video capabilities.

A smartphone or tablet is the preferred method of connection, since computers may have older web browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc.), will need a plug-in installed, or may not have up-to-date video capability.

Connecting with a Smartphone or Tablet (Apple or Android)

For the best Video Visit experience, use your smartphone or tablet to connect
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date (in settings)
Download the myChart app from the Google or Apple App Store
Install the app and choose Beaumont Health as your health system
Log in to your account using your myBeaumontChart ID and Password
Make sure that other apps on your phone are closed before beginning a Video Visit

Connecting on a Laptop Computer

We recommend a smartphone or tablet be used to connect to a Video Visit, but if one is not available the next best option is a laptop computer with built-in camera
Make sure that your internet navigator is up-to-date, we recommend using Chrome
Go to www.mybeaumontchart.com
Start the Video Visit check-in process under “Visits”
You will be asked to download 2 “plug-ins” and install them on your computer in order to run the Video Visit
Start the eCheck-in process on your phone or computer at least 5-10 minutes before your appointment
