Virtual Visits

Our Virtual Visits solution, powered by MDLIVE®, lets you have a live consultation with an independently contracted, board-certified MDLIVE doctor. Based on your location, this can happen 24 hours a day, seven days a week by online video, mobile app or phone.

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.
