Telehealth
Doctor On Demand by Included Health® lets you connect with a doctor or nurse practitioner 24/7, online or over the phone; a great option for urgent care.
Your Doctor On Demand telehealth benefit offers you phone or video visits with a licensed provider for non-life-threatening conditions. You should consider using it when you want to speak to a doctor about things like:
- Fevers
- Coughs
- Minor Infections
- Skin Problems
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Headaches

Note: Telehealth doesn’t take the place of regular visits with your primary care doctor or specialists.
If you have health-related questions of any kind, we strongly recommend first calling your primary care doctor. They have your medical history at their fingertips and can best direct your care, including ordering prescription refills. Your SCAN telehealth benefit is best for urgent or after-hours care needs.
Telehealth is available in most SCAN plans. When you begin a video visit, Doctor On Demand will confirm that you are eligible to use the service. Or check your Evidence of Coverage.
