Keeping you healthy virtually
A smart healthcare customer does not delay care when they need it. A Virtual Health visit can ensure you receive real-time care. You can see a board-certified doctor from the comfort of your home any time.
Do you have a healthcare problem that concerns you?
Don’t delay care for any of these reasons:
- You can’t take the time off to drive to see a specialist
- The wait time to see a specialist is many months away
- You’re not comfortable sitting in a waiting room during the pandemic
- You’re afraid of having to go for care outside your community
- You need to talk to a doctor after hours or on weekends
- You’re away from home
Virtual Health is available to you 24/7, 365 days a year. You can receive medical help any time, from anywhere.

When is Virtual Health right for you?

- Coaching and support for managing chronic health conditions, including weight management and nutrition counseling
- Case management
- Follow-up after hospitalization
- Mental health support
When is Virtual Health not right for you?
If you have trauma, a serious accident, a broken bone, excessive bleeding, dangerously high fever, a bad burn, symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, call 911 or have someone get you to a hospital emergency room as soon as possible.
What kind of treatment does Virtual Health cover?

What else do you need to know about Virtual Health?
Virtual Health allows anyone covered under your health plan to see a doctor after hours or away from home. Your average wait time will be less than 10 minutes. You will be able to choose from many state-licensed, board-certified physicians and pediatricians. Have your personal health information handy (conditions you have and medications you take). Be prepared to pay a copayment, coinsurance or deductible amount, if your health plan requires it.
Do you have a primary care provider?
A primary care provider (PCP) can help you manage day-to-day health needs. Having an established relationship with a PCP is important. Your PCP will be your partner for helping you stay healthy and keeping medical costs down. In addition to treating you when you are sick, your PCP will keep your medical history, make sure your vaccines are up-to-date, and monitor your health.
