On Thursday, the University Benefits Administrator sent all university employees an informational email regarding a recent mailing from Teladoc, a telehealth program that is part of the University of Nebraska’s health insurance program. The mailing was sent to university employee’s home address.
The following is an excerpt from the university-sent email:
Starting in 2019, enrollees in the University of Nebraska’s health plan (employees and dependents) will have access to telehealth services offered through Teladoc. Teladoc services can be utilized for common conditions, such as a sinus infection, cold, flu, ear infection, sore throat, migraine, fever, and abdominal pain. Teladoc gives you access 24 hours, seven days a week to medical providers through the convenience of phone, video or mobile app visits. The services are subject to coinsurance and deductible amounts. For more information visit Teladoc.com or call 1-800-TELADOC (835-2362).
Teladoc is an optional program and does not require you to cease visits with your current medical provider. You can sign up with Teladoc at any time during the year. Additional information on the Teladoc program can be found at https://www.nebraska.edu/docs/benefits/Genmed_Derm_UnivofNeb_Teladoc.pdf.
