Talk to Doctors Anytime
EmblemHealth is excited to offer Telemedicine online virtual office visits — a benefit with the convenience of seeing a doctor anytime, day or night, by using a computer, mobile device, or phone.
If Telemedicine is included in your plan, enroll today! Check your member contract or subscriber certificate for details.
Important! Telemedicine is in-network care, but it doesn’t replace the care of your primary doctor. Only your doctor can provide the full range of care to meet your health needs.

How Telemedicine Works
Any time of day, 365 days a year, you can use a computer, mobile device, or phone to get unlimited, non-urgent medical care:
- Talk with doctors in primary care, family medicine, and more.
- They can review your history, answer your questions, diagnose and treat medical conditions, and prescribe certain medicines.
When I Would Use Telemedicine
- I feel sick and don't want to leave home.
- My doctor isn't available.
- I have a busy schedule.
- I just moved and don’t know local doctors.
- I’m out of town and need a doctor's advice.
When I Wouldn't Use Telemedicine
- I need emergency care.
- I need a biometric screening, such as a BMI (body mass index) or blood pressure check.
- My care requires a review of my health records or x-rays.
