The old office adage is “work smarter, not longer.” Consumers are always looking for ways to more efficiently manage their hectic lives, continually reaching for tools and apps that help eliminate hassle. That’s why UnitedHealthcare now offers Virtual Visits for plan members. With virtual visits, employers can now offer care that’s both simple and convenient for their employees. 

Here’s how it works: when employees are experiencing a non-emergency health condition, they can utilize UnitedHealthcare’s Virtual Visits. Doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can be reached using a mobile device or computer at home or the office. There, the doctor can provide medical advice and issue a prescription if needed.

There are no added administrative costs to the employer and UnitedHealthcare Virtual Visits do not compromise quality. All contracted Virtual Visit provider groups meet service and quality standards aligned with American Medical Association and Federation of State Medical Boards guidelines.

UnitedHealthcare Virtual Visits are in line with the consumer trends of apps and tools that now allow folks to quickly access services and information in the palm of the their hands.
