Getting Care Virtually

Types of Care

Watch this video to learn all about virtual care.

Primary Care

Virtual primary care includes two services: virtual wellness screenings and routine care. Virtual wellness screenings are a replacement for an in-person wellness exam. Routine care visits help members manage conditions and establish a relationship with a PCP. Primary care is offered by appointment-only.

Routine Care

Routine care will launch 1/1/2022. Members must make routine care appointments at providers’ availability. Routine care visits help members manage conditions and establish a relationship with a PCP. For example, a member may have had a virtual wellness screening and the provider found evidence of high cholesterol. Members would leverage routine care visits to help manage their lifestyle and prescriptions to treat their high cholesterol. During these appointments, providers can order ad-hoc labs to measure success of treatment plans.

Dermatology

Virtual dermatology will launch on 1/1/2022. MDLIVE requires members to describe their condition, take a picture (or a few) of the affected area, and upload them to the MDLIVE for Cigna portal. A doctor will respond with a treatment plan within 24 hours. There is no “live” conversation with a doctor via phone or video; consults are completed via messaging. Members can get dermatological care for over 3,000 hair, skin, and nail conditions including acne, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, and suspicious spots and moles.

Behavioral Care

These providers can diagnose, treat and prescribe medications for many, common mental health conditions during nonemergency situations. The cost share will vary based on the customer’s plan design, provider selection (therapist vs. psychiatrist) and length of session.

Many of Cigna's in-network behavioral providers offer their treatment services virtually. You can search for virtual providers on mycigna.com or ask specifically for virtual health providers when you call the 800 number to ask for help finding a provider. Receiving behavioral health and substance use treatment services virtually offers a convenient way to connect.

Your out-of-pocket cost is the same as if you were being seen at the provider’s office setting. All University employees have access to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), so you can take advantage of your EAP sessions virtually, too.
