“Visiting” a doctor has never been easier. Both of the County’s health care providers offer video visit services for members. This means you can video conference with a medical professional from the comfort of your home or even while on vacation.

When you are not feeling well, this small convenience can mean everything. Spend more time resting and less time running around to the appointments.

Have a minor condition such as a cold or sinus infection? Try a video visit from a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Remember, if you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should seek appropriate emergency medical assistance.
