Virtual Care Services

All of the Alera Group medical plan options include virtual care services. If you’re enrolled in a Blue Cross Blue Shield or UnitedHealthcare medical plan, you’ll use Included Health. If you're enrolled in the Surest medical plan, you'll have the option to use Included Health or Surest's own virtual primary care network of providers. If you’re enrolled in a Kaiser medical plan, you will use Kaiser’s virtual care.

The Basics

How It Works

You and your covered dependents can visit with a doctor, therapist, or medical expert by phone or video from anywhere.

Get immediate access to doctors for urgent care or schedule an appointment.

What’s Covered

Your cost for in-network virtual care depends on your medical plan. If you’re enrolled in a Blue Cross Blue Shield or UnitedHealthcare medical plan, you’ll use Included Health. If you're enrolled in the Surest medical plan, you'll have the option to use Included Health or Surest's own virtual primary care network of providers. If you’re enrolled in a Kaiser medical plan, use Kaiser’s virtual care.

When to Reach Out

Access virtual care services 24/7 when you need care for non-urgent and common conditions, such as rash, cold, cough, sore throat, or sinus problems. Providers diagnose, treat, and prescribe medicine if needed. Note: Virtual care services are not for emergencies. In the event of an emergency, such as significant chest pain, choking, or severe burn, call 9-1-1.
