Virtual Visits
When you don't feel well, or your child is sick, it might be hard to get to the doctor’s office. HealthSelect participants have a convenient alternative to an in-person office visit--medical and mental health care through Virtual Visits. Virtual Visits allow you to see a licensed doctor online or by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
