Video visit + Rx
Same-day video with Dr. Bhavsar, MD. Prescription sent to your pharmacy at visit end.
What Actually Happens During Your Visit
Your Aetna member ID card, a list of current medications, your pharmacy name and zip code, and 5–10 minutes of quiet time. Your phone's camera needs to be working — that's it.
A secure, HIPAA-compliant video window opens. You'll see Dr. Bhavsar, MD — not a bot, not a PA. The average visit runs 8–12 minutes. He'll ask about your symptoms, review your history, and ask follow-up questions.
For your condition: Dr. Bhavsar, MD uses validated clinical criteria — not a generic symptom checklist — to assess your presentation, rule out red flags that require in-person care, and determine whether a prescription is appropriate.
If a prescription is clinically appropriate, it is sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy before the video call ends. Most pharmacies fill it within 1–2 hours. You'll also receive a visit summary.
Aetna receives the claim automatically — billing codes 99213 or 99214 depending on visit complexity. Your Aetna Explanation of Benefits (EOB) arrives within 2–4 weeks showing what was billed and your cost.
