Virtual care is a way patients and doctors can connect through digital tools like computers or smartphones. It is also known as telemedicine or telehealth.

Contact your insurance or employer to find out what virtual care options may be covered by your health plan.

One virtual care option is PlushCare, an independent medical service that offers same-day appointments in all 50 states. They allow you to use insurance (or pay cash) just like an in-person doctor visit--and can even send prescriptions to your local pharmacy.
