Getting Started

Don’t Forget! After your virtual visit, you will need to file a claim with your insurance company to be reimbursed for any eligible expenses associated with your telemedicine visit.

Please note — The cost of telemedicine visits will only be covered under your plan if the treatment is for a covered benefit, and not excluded by any of the plan exclusions and limitations. Please review your policy certificate, in the MyDocuments section of your Student Zone, for your full plan benefits and exclusions.

  • What Health Concerns Can Telemedicine Help Treat?

    You can use telemedicine to help treat non-emergency health issues like sinus problems, respiratory infections, allergies, flu symptoms, rashes, and many other illnesses.
  • How Does Telemedicine Work?

    After you've created your account, it's simple to request a real-time video, app, or phone consultation with a telemedicine provider. A doctor will review your medical history and perform a video exam or phone consultation usually within minutes. You will then receive your medical records and care instructions electronically, along with any necessary prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy. If you require urgent care, you will be immediately referred to the nearest emergency room or urgent care center. The entire telehealth visit is completed on average within 30 minutes or less.
  • How Much Does the Service Cost?

    The cost of a telemedicine visit varies, depending on the type of care you are requesting. You will need to visit the website of the telemedicine service of your choice to learn more about how much you will need to pay for the visit.

You can learn more about how to file a claim through the Claims Center of your Student Zone.
