UnitedHealthcare is committed to helping you get the care you need outside of the doctor’s office with viritual visists.

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans:

• Cost-share for COVID-19 testing-related viritual visits: For COVID-19 testing-related telehealth, you will have $0 cost-share for in-network and out-of-network visits through the national public health emergency period.
• Cost-share for COVID-19 treatment via viritual visits: You will be responsible for the cost-share (copays, coinsurance or deductibles) for COVID-19 treatment via viritual visits. Most UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans have $0 copays for covered viritual services. Check your plan materials for cost-share details.
  
• Expanded access for telehealth visits not related to COVID-19: For in-network and out-of-network providers, you will have expanded access to viritual visits through the national public health emergency period.

Cost-share for viritual visits not related to COVID-19 testing will be determined by your benefit plan. Most UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans have $0 copays for covered viritual services. Check your plan materials for cost-share details.
