Convenient 24/7 Virtual Visits

With 24/7 Virtual Visits, you can connect to a provider by phone or video* – on myuhc.com or the UnitedHealthcare® app. Providers can diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions, including many of the same conditions as an emergency room (ER) or urgent care. Providers may even prescribe medication**, if needed.

Emotional well-being support

Whether you’re in a time of greater need or want to work on personal growth, you can get connected to self-help digital tools, in-person or virtual behavioral health providers and more.

These resources and programs are designed to help with a variety of concerns from depression and anxiety to mental health and substance disorder services.

Virtual emotional support

Reaching out for help may be easier from the privacy of your home. Using your computer or phone*, access confidential counseling from a licensed therapist for conditions like ADD/ADHD, anxiety, mental health disorders, addiction and depression.

Includes:

  • Private video session
  • Support for adults, children, and teens, including diagnosis, treatment, and medication, if necessary
  • The same standard of care as in-person visits, allowing you to maintain a consistent relationship with your therapist

 

In the moment support

When it comes to behavioral health, sometimes it just helps to have someone to talk to. With the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), you can reach an EAP coordinator 24/7 online or by phone for confidential conversation and referrals to expert care and services. EAP can help you and your family:

  • Address depression, stress, anxiety or substance use issues​
  • Improve relationships at home or wok​
  • Work through emotional issues or grief​
  • Get legal or financial assistance​
  • Find support for child and elder care services

Keeping care on track

Preventive care - such as routine annual checkups and certain recommended screenings and immunizations - is covered by most UnitedHealthcare plans for $0 out-of-pocket when you see network providers. A preventive care visit may be a good time to help establish your relationship with your primary care provider. It can also help you manage your health and create a connection for future medical services.
