Florida Telehealth · Primary Care

Primary care, virtual when you need it.

Telehealth primary care for established Ascend Mind and Body patients across Florida. Medication refills, follow-ups, chronic-condition check-ins, and many sick visits with Dr. Jason Saylor, DO. Same provider, same plan, no waiting room.

What works by video

Visits that fit your schedule.

Once you are established as a primary care patient at our Tampa office, most ongoing care can move to telehealth across Florida. Same Dr. Saylor, same care plan, same continuity.

Medication refills

Ongoing prescriptions for chronic conditions: blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, diabetes, and others. Sent to the pharmacy of your choice.

Chronic-condition check-ins

Regular follow-up for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and thyroid management. Trend review, plan adjustments, and next-step planning.

Sick visits

Colds, sinus infections, urinary symptoms, GI issues, rashes, and many acute complaints when an in-person exam is not required.

Lab-result review

Walk through your labs together. Understand what changed since last time, what is on target, and what needs attention.

Care coordination

Coordination with our psychiatry, talk therapy, and weight-loss teams when your primary care plan overlaps with mental health or metabolic care.

Referrals and authorizations

Specialist referrals, prior authorizations, and forms (work, school, DOT, FAA, FMLA) handled without an extra in-person visit.

In person, not virtual

Some visits require a hands-on exam, a lab draw, or a vaccine. We schedule those at our Tampa office at 3971 Moran Rd, Suite 101.

Frequently asked

Telehealth primary care, answered.

Can new patients establish via telehealth?

No. The first primary care visit at Ascend is in person at the Tampa office so we can complete a full exam and baseline labs. Once you are established, follow-ups, refills, and many sick visits can be done by telehealth across Florida.

What kinds of visits can happen by telehealth?

Medication refills, chronic-condition check-ins (diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, thyroid), follow-up on lab results, mental-health coordination with our psychiatry team, and many acute sick visits when an in-person exam is not required.

What requires an in-person visit?

Annual physicals, new-patient establish visits, vaccines, on-site lab draws, in-office procedures, and any complaint that needs a hands-on exam. Our front desk will route the visit type to the right modality when you call.

Is the telehealth visit secure?

Yes. Telehealth visits use a HIPAA-secure video platform with end-to-end encryption. We do not record visits. Protected health information is handled per HIPAA.

What if my insurance does not cover telehealth?

Most major insurance plans cover telehealth at parity with in-person visits in Florida. Our medical billing team will verify your specific plan before you book.
