Health Resources

In addition to using a telehealth service, you can receive in-person or virtual care from your own doctor or another healthcare professional in your plan’s network. If you receive care from a doctor or healthcare professional not in your plan’s network, your share of the costs may be higher. You may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by your health plan.
