You’ve tried rest. You’ve tried over the counter medicine. But this cough doesn’t seem to be getting better.
So it’s got you thinking: Maybe it’s more than a cough.
Sitting in a waiting room to get some answers? You’d rather not. You have another option: Virtual Visit.
A Virtual Visit lets you video chat with a board-certified doctor on your mobile device, tablet or computer. The doctor can give you a diagnosis — and even write a prescription if needed. There’s no appointment needed. And this service is available anytime, day or night. With your UnitedHealthcare plan, your cost is $50 or less.
Use a Virtual Visit for minor medical needs like:
- Allergies
- Bladder or urinary tract infections
- Colds or coughs
- Fever
- Headaches
- Pinkeye
- Rashes
- Sinus problems
- Sore throat
- Stomachache
Virtual Visits can save you time and money.
