Get the health care support you need from the comfort of your home with two types of virtual visits:
Medical Virtual Visits
Getting sick is never convenient. When you don't feel well or your child is sick, you may not be able to leave your home or office to go to the doctor’s office. With medical Virtual Visits, you and your eligible dependents can consult a doctor online for your urgent health care needs.
How it works
- You have access to a licensed board-certified doctor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays
- You have no cost if you are enrolled in HealthSelect of Texas®, HealthSelectSM Out-of-State or HealthSelectSM Secondary - that means you will have 100% coverage for medical Virtual Visits under your plan for medical services (excluding mental health care)
- Consumer Directed HealthSelect participants will be required to meet their annual deductible before Virtual Visits are covered, subject to the coinsurance for those plans after deductible is met
- You can choose between Doctor On Demand and MDLIVE*
Mental Health Virtual Visits
Consult a licensed mental health professional any day of the week online. A mental health Virtual Visit is similar to an outpatient visit to a mental health provider’s office but the visit is conducted online (video conference only, telephonic not available).
