Your health care coverage may include our Virtual Visits solution, powered by MDLIVE. A Virtual Visit lets you have a live consultation with an independently contracted, board-certified MDLIVE doctor or therapist. This can happen seven days a week by mobile app, online video or phone.1
Instead of going to the office, you can have a Virtual Visit while at home, work or many other places. And, a Virtual Visit can cost less than going to the urgent care clinic or emergency room. See how it worked on this family’s camping trip:
