Virtual Visits:  With a virtual visit you can see and talk to a doctor online, any time.  Did you know they are included in your health plan coverage AND at a reduced co-pay from a regular office visit?  When you don’t feel well, or your child is sick, the last thing you want to do is leave the comfort of home to sit in a waiting room.  With Virtual Visits, you don’t have to!  A Virtual Visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer without an appointment, 24/7.  Most visits take about 10-15 minutes and doctors can write a prescription, if needed, that you can pick up at your local pharmacy.   

Conditions commonly treated through a virtual visit include:

  • Bladder Infection/Urinary Tract Infection
  • Bronchitis
  • Cold/Flu
  • Diarrhea
  • Fever
  • Migrane/Headaches
  • Pink Eye
  • Rash
  • Sinus Problems
  • Sore Throat
  • Stomach Ache
