Telemedicine - Virtual Visits

On-the-go care with UHC's Virtual Visits.
If you enroll in a UHC Medical plan, you have 24/7 access to physicians through Virtual Visits, UHC’s telemedicine program.

A virtual visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer. When you use UHC’s virtual visit network, you have benefit coverage for certain non-emergency medical conditions like the flu, cold, pink eye, rashes, and fevers.

You pay a $0 copay for telemedicine visits after you meet your deducible. This only applies to Teladoc, Amwell, and Doctors on Demand visits, or Optum Virtual Care (where available).

When to use a virtual doctor 

You can use Virtual Visits when:

  • Your doctor is not available
  • You become ill while traveling
  • You are considering an emergency room visit for a routine or non-life-threatening health condition
  • Your child is away at college
