Staff and faculty covered on a GW medical plan can sign up today for Virtual Visits for minor medical concerns, including diagnosis of influenza, fevers, migraines, allergies, and more.
From a mobile device or computer, you can talk to a doctor who is able to diagnose and treat a wide range of non-emergency conditions as well as write prescriptions (if needed). Virtual visits are covered under your UHC medical plan with most visits costing for employees on the GW Health Savings Plan (HSP) and $10 for employees on a GW PPO medical plan.
We recommend that you register before you need to see a doctor. This will save you time when you’re feeling under the weather and are focused on getting better.
