How much does a virtual visit cost?
Employees enrolled in the Health Savings Plan pay less than $60 per virtual visit. For employees enrolled in Choice Plus or Options Plan medical benefits, medical virtual visits are FREE.
Any applicable costs for Health Saving Plan members must be paid by you at the time of the virtual visit and will apply toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. You can use a credit or debit card to pay, including your health savings account debit card.
Will virtual visit information be shared with my Primary Care Physician (PCP)?
We encourage you to provide your PCP information to the virtual visit provider so that virtual visit records can be sent directly to your PCP.
* In general a parent or legal guardian must be present when the virtual visit is conducted with a minor dependent who is covered under your plan. Prescription services may not be available in all states. Costs for prescription drugs are based on, and payable under, your pharmacy benefit, not as part of your virtual visit benefit. Prescriptions are provided only when appropriate.
Access to virtual visits and prescription services may not be available in all states or for all groups. Go to your plan website for more information about availability of virtual visits and prescription services. Always refer to your plan documents for your specific coverage. Virtual visits are not an insurance product, health care provider or a health plan. Virtual visits are an Internet-based service provided by your plan’s contracted providers that allow members to select and interact with independent physicians and other health care providers. It is the member’s responsibility to select health care professionals. Care decisions are between the consumer and physician. Virtual visits are not intended to address emergency or life-threatening medical conditions and should not be used in those circumstances. Services may not be available at all times or in all locations. Members have cost share responsibility and all claims are adjudicated according to the terms of the member’s benefit plan. Payment for virtual visit services does not cover pharmacy charges; members must pay for prescriptions (if any) separately.
