Virtual Healthcare for students
Membership included with our insurance plans!
What makes our Premier Virtual Healthcare Program unique to Students and Scholars?
This product is different because it isn’t at all connected to any insurance policy. It will supplement an insurance plan and save you significant money when you use their services instead of visiting a private doctor’s office, urgent care, or the emergency room. Benefits of this virtual package are:
- No deductible, copay, or co-insurance. Once the membership is purchased, there is no additional cost for the consultation.
- No claims to file and no need to search for a network provider.
- No exclusions to worry about. Unlike a medical policy, there are no policy exclusions or limits for pre-existing conditions, mental health, acne, plus more!
- Unlimited access to medical providers 24/7/365 by phone, video or app! Convenient for late-nights, weekends, in-between classes, while traveling, when the Student Health Center is closed. No need to worry about lack of privacy.
- Unlimited visits for teletherapy. Schedule appointments with counselors or psychiatrists for mental health and manage your self-care. Virtual therapy appointments are more readily available with less waiting, privacy, no worries about insurance benefits or network providers, and no out-of-pocket costs.
