Virtual Visits

Our virtual visits solution, powered by MDLIVE®, lets you have a live consultation with an independently contracted, MDLIVE board-certified doctor. Based on your location, this can happen by mobile app, online video or phone – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Instead of going to the doctor’s office, you can talk with a doctor while at home, work or many other places

Getting Care

MDLIVE’s doctors can treat many non-emergency medical conditions, like:

General Health

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Sinus infections

Pediatric Care

  • Cold/flu
  • Ear infections
  • Pink eye

They can also write – and send – prescriptions (when appropriate) to a nearby pharmacy.
