Announcing New Doctor On Demand Virtual Visit Benefit

As was announced in December regional meetings….

Get the care you need when and where you need it with a new benefit of your health insurance.

It’s called Doctor On Demand. It’s a virtual visit platform that connects you to a board-certified physician by live video on your smartphone, tablet or computer.

If you are covered by Wellmark health insurance through Heartland AEA, your cost for using Doctor on Demand is an office visit copay.

No more waiting rooms or travel across town. With Doctor On Demand, you can see and talk to a doctor face-to-face anytime — wherever you are. You can also get prescriptions instantly sent to your nearest pharmacy.

Doctor On Demand treats many common medical conditions:
●    Colds and flu
●    Allergies
●    Skin and eye issues
●    Sore throat
●    Pediatric issues
●    Bronchitis and sinus infections  
●    Urinary tract infections
●    Diarrhea and vomiting
●    Prescriptions

Out-of-State Dependents
Also, for employees with dependents out-of-state, if they use the Doctor On Demand, it is still considered In-Network because they will be connected with doctors who are licensed to practice in Iowa and are considered an In-Network doctor under our plan when you use Doctor On Demand.

Meet the Doctors
The doctors at Doctor On Demand are among the best in the country. They go through several screenings and ongoing quality assurance. You can even rate your experience and write a review.
