This portion of HealthTap is the free forum and not affiliated with the telehealth portion of this website or any other. A physician would most likely want to examine you and review your medical history before signing off on disability.

Yes, ideally through your primary care doc’s office who based on available documentation may decide to confirm present conditions through a telehealth visit. There are legal limits to what can be done remotely and physical findings are always needed.
