No. Your Telehealth benefit allows you to speak with a doctor at MDLIVE when your own doctor is not available. It’s a convenient option for urgent care or when you have questions or concerns after-hours. Reach MDLIVE 24/7 online at MDLIVE.com or call 1-888-993-4087 to register and speak with a doctor.
On the other hand, to schedule a virtual visit with your own doctor, you would do it through his or her appointment desk, as you would for an in-person visit. We always encourage you to call your doctor’s office first for guidance, but realize that’s not always possible. That’s why we offer the Telehealth benefit with MDLIVE at no cost to you.
Yes! Your MDLIVE Telehealth visit can be done from wherever you are in the continental United States as a simple phone call or as a video chat if you have a secure Internet connection. Telehealth laws vary by state, so you may want to check with MDLIVE before you travel. You can call 1-888-993-4087 or go to MDLIVE.com to use the service if it is included in your plan.
