Virtual Visits
When you don’t feel well, or your child is sick, the last thing you want to do is leave the comfort of home to sit in a
waiting room. Now you don’t have to. Virtual Visits let you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or
computer without an appointment. Most visits take about 10-15 minutes and doctors can write a prescription, if
needed, that you can pick up at your local pharmacy. This service is part of your health benefits offered through
United Healthcare and Blue Shield.
