What is Telehealth?

Quality Care at Your Convenience

Simply put, Telehealth enables you to remotely connect with clinicians for healthcare services and information by phone, tablet or computer. Utilizing user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video and communications technology, this service allows you to see and speak with a doctor, nurse or therapist just as you would during an in-person consultation — all in real time, respectful of social distancing practices, and from your own home, office or anywhere you may be.

Telehealth offers:

• Fast access to a UHS-credentialed provider for assessment, advice, education, intervention and monitoring, such as:
  • Call with Doctor or Nurse
  • Video Visit with Doctor or Nurse
  • Individual Behavioral Health Video Session with Therapist
  • Group Behavioral Health Video Session

Eligibility for Telehealth will depend on your medical or behavioral health condition and geographic location and ultimately will be determined by your provider.

For more information regarding medical eligibility, insurance coverage, and any out of pocket costs, please contact your provider.
