Not feeling well? Starting this month Hartford HealthCare employees and their families will be able to consult a licensed medical provider from the comfort of your home or office.
Hartford HealthCare’s partnership with American Well, a national leader in telehealth, will offer patients a new convenient way to access a provider for concerns such as anxiety, bronchitis, colds, cough, depression, diarrhea, ear infection, fever, flu, pink eye, respiratory infection, sinus infection, smoking cessation, sore throat, sprains and strains, urinary tract infection, vomiting, and weight concerns.
Urgent care video visits using a computer or mobile app will be offered to employees and their families through an exclusive pilot to help Hartford HealthCare evaluate whether such a service would enhance access to care for employees and potentially all patients in the communities we serve.
The cost of an urgent care video visit will be $49 and is not covered by insurance, but you may use your health savings account or flexible spending account to cover the cost. The service will be available to all Hartford HealthCare employees and family members. A $10 discount will be offered for first-time users. To learn more or see a doctor, visit the Virtual Urgent Care page of HHC Connect or download the Hartford HealthCare Now app from the App store or Google Play.
