Virtual Visits, Powered by MDLIVE®1

With Virtual Visits, you have access to board-certified MDLIVE doctors and therapists. These independently contracted, licensed professionals can help you with many non-emergency conditions. Your live visit can happen using online video or a mobile app.

Speak with a doctor or therapist 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Instead of going to the office, you can talk with one while at home, work or many other places. And, a virtual visit can cost less than going to an urgent care center or emergency room.
