The next time you don't feel well, schedule a virtual visit to connect with a health care provider online anytime from your mobile device, tablet or desktop computer.
Available to employees and dependents enrolled in the company’s medical plan, virtual visits are ideal for minor health care needs or symptoms like colds, seasonal allergies or fevers. Appointments are available 24/7, often with a wait time of as little as 20 minutes and can prevent a trip to urgent care or the emergency room. You even can get a prescription sent to your pharmacy, when available.
Virtual visits are offered at a fixed cost that typically is less than in-person visits. In addition to saving money, you’ll save time by not having to drive to and from a doctor’s office. You also can select an appointment time convenient for you and your family.
For more serious health concerns, it’s always good to contact your general practitioner or primary care physician, as they have easy access to your records, know the bigger picture of your health, and may offer same-day appointments as well as virtual visits.
