Teladoc Virtual Visits
Get the right care when you need it most by talking with a doctor by phone or video 24/7.
JPOFFHIT members covered by a Florida Blue plan will pay a $0 copay during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We want you to feel better faster! With the convenience of our virtual visits through Teladoc, you can receive quality care without stepping foot in a doctor’s office.
Skip the waiting room and talk to a health care professional by phone or video 24/7, even after hours or on the weekends. Simply request a visit, choose your consultation method, and a doctor will provide you with care normally within less than an hour.
You’ll receive timely treatment for non-emergency issues, and you can elect to send the results to your primary care doctor. If necessary, Teladoc will send prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice.
Note: JPOFFHIT members enrolled in the UF Health Plan have limited access to virtual visits through UF Health.
