\"Views<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on virtual care options as both doctors and patients try to reduce in-person visits for routine care as much as possible. Patients aren’t always aware of what’s available to them, though, so over the course of the next two weeks, Google <\/a> will roll out<\/a> new features in Search and Maps that will highlight telehealth options.<\/p>\n

Hospitals, doctors and mental health professionals can now add details about their virtual care offerings to their Business Profile in Search and Maps, for example. When a patient then searches for them, they’ll see a “get online care” link that will take them to their provider’s website with more information.\"\"<\/a>In the U.S., Google will also start showing virtual care platforms when people use search queries like “immediate care.” The search results page will now highlight both in-person and virtual care options, something that wasn’t previously the case. Uninsured users will also see more details about out-of-pocket prices for their visits.<\/p>\n

In addition, Google <\/a> will now also automatically try to surface a link to a healthcare provider’s COVID-19 page, where they can highlight their own policies for walk-in visits or updates to their operating hours, for example.<\/p>\n
