Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up a video visit?
Talk to your doctor about whether a video visit is right for you. Eligible patients must have a My CS‑Link account and be physically located in California. If you don't have a My CS-Link account, ask your doctor's office to send you an activation code with instructions on how to set up the account. Be sure to activate your My CS‑Link account before your video visit.
Once your video visit is scheduled, you will need to download the Cedars‑Sinai mobile app if you don't already have it on your mobile device. Simply go to the Apple App Store or Google Play and search "Cedars‑Sinai" to download the app.
