Telehealth Options

If you’re a member in the Concordia Health Plan, you have a variety of telehealth benefits that let you access doctors, physical therapists and mental health professionals via computer, smartphone or tablet without leaving the comfort of your home. They can help you with diagnoses and treatment plans for common illnesses or issues, such as:

• Flu, skin conditions and allergies.
• Stress, anxiety and other emotional challenges.
• Back, joint or muscle pain.

Board certified and licensed, telehealth doctors can order prescriptions for you as well.

You’ll also save money because your telehealth visits are less expensive than traditional office visits or trips to urgent care or the emergency room – and some are included free as part of your health plan.
