Dermatology Cases

Contact the MUHSC dermatology clinic at 573.882.8108.

Request a Dermatology appointment, and specify you would like to schedule the appointment via the Missouri Telehealth Network. Be sure to specify which rural location you would like to visit for the appointment (e.g. Putnam County Hospital).

Provide the rest of the information that the Patient Service Representative will request. This will include name, address, date of birth, reason for the appointment, and insurance information.

Please note that there is no difference in the manner in which an in-person Dermatology appointment or a telehealth Dermatology appointment is scheduled. If your insurance requires a referral from your primary care physician to reimburse for specialist services provided in person, a referral is also required for services provided via telehealth. At this time, most Dermatology telehealth services are provided during a regularly scheduled weekly clinic.

Other Encounters

Other encounters include surgery, neurology, endocrinology, adolescent medicine and burn clinic.

Contact Mirna Becevic at the Missouri Telehealth Network at 573. 884.7958.

Request a telehealth encounter by providing all of the following information:

An MTN form requesting additional patient history and demographics will be faxed to you for completion. Return instructions will be provided.

Appointments are generally requested within a certain time frame. Please provide the MTN staff with any restrictions during that time when the patient cannot be available. The referring clinician may choose to participate or not participate in the encounter. They are always welcome but the decision to participate rests solely with that practitioner.

The MTN staff will then make the necessary arrangements for the encounter and call you back as soon as possible with the scheduling details.
In some cases, the consulting physician may contact the referring clinician directly for additional information.

Patient Information

Scheduling patients for telehealth encounters requires the same patient demographic information as scheduling a face-to-face encounter. In that regard:

All patient demographic information must be available prior to scheduling.
All insurance information must be available prior to scheduling.

Appointment Availability

Appointments for ad hoc telehealth encounters are made on first come, first served basis and are contingent upon availability of the provider. The MTN staff will make every reasonable effort to meet the needs of the patient.
