Live Virtual Cardiology Visit or Asynchronous Records Review: Which Should You Request?

Find the correct My Heart Spark clinical pathway for a live video visit, brief follow up, second opinion records review, or POTS resource package.

Quick answer

A live cardiology appointment is a scheduled encounter with an appropriate clinician. An asynchronous medical records review examines supplied records outside a live visit. An educational resource package provides information. These offerings serve different purposes, and their administrative listing durations should not be interpreted as equivalent clinical appointment time.

When to request a live visit

Select a clinical appointment when you need to discuss symptoms, review risks in detail, receive individualized assessment or work with a clinician on a plan. The public My Heart Spark P.C. catalogue currently lists a 45 minute Long Cardiology Visit ($150) with Dr. Brown’s Team for an extended evaluation.

Who should use the 15 minute option?

The $50, 15 minute Cardiology Visit is appropriate only when the care team has established that the intended clinical concern fits a short encounter. New evaluations, extensive questions and complex records usually warrant more time. Appointment requests remain subject to clinician approval.

How a second opinion records review differs

The service labeled Cardiology 2nd Opinion Medical Records Review (NO LIVE VISIT) is an asynchronous offering. The catalogue displays 15 minutes for administrative scheduling purposes. It should be chosen only when the request and expected deliverable match the records review service scope.

What about the POTS resource package?

The POTS Care Resource Package (NO APPOINTMENT VISIT) is a resource offering. It does not schedule a clinician video encounter. The two free information options similarly provide information regarding services, without a live clinical visit.

FAQ: What if I selected the wrong service?

The practice reviews appointment requests for clinical appropriateness. If the selected duration or type does not fit, the administrative team can guide you toward the appropriate request pathway, subject to availability. Include only information requested through the authorized secure portal.
