Virtual Healthcare  ​for students

included in our insurance plans

Telemedicine - 24/7 access to qualified doctors

Don’t wait weeks for an appointment. Our doctors, therapists, and specialists can help you with the flu, infections, anxiety, stress, skin conditions, and provide advice on serious medical conditions. No matter what you're facing, we’re available from wherever you are by phone, video, or app 24/7/365.

Telemedicine is provided through Teladoc , the oldest and largest telemedicine company in the US. Teladoc is unsurpassed in quality of services rendered with over 20 million members and a member satisfaction rate of 95%.    They can also correspond with members in over 200 languages and Teladoc physicians have an average of 20 years’ experience and although they cannot treat emergencies, they can treat a wide range of conditions such as:
​
• Cold & flu
• Upper Respiratory Infections
• Bronchitis
• Allergies
• Eye and Ear Infections
• Skin Infections
• Abrasions
• Urinary Tract Infections

Telemedicine can save you significant money by using their  services instead of visiting a private doctor’s office, urgent care, or the emergency room. It will not cost you  anything- no deductible, no copay. Did you know that  many policies have an emergency room co-payment up to $350 if you are not admitted to the hospital? Also, many  policies exclude non-emergency use of the emergency  room or reimburse such visits at a much reduced percentage – which could end up costing you hundreds to thousands of dollars!
