1 Nationally recommended preventive care services have no copay and no deductible requirement when the provider is in the plan's network.
2 Virtual care visits, including video visits using the Sydney Health app are at no cost to members for most plans (however, it may be subject to the deductible depending upon the terms of the plan). Virtual care visits refer to video consultations, as deemed appropriate by a licensed physician. In addition to using a telehealth service, you can receive in-person or virtual care from your own doctor or another healthcare provider in your plan’s network. If you receive care from a doctor or healthcare provider not in your plan’s network, your share of the costs may be higher. You may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by your health plan. Sydney Health is offered through an arrangement with Carelon Digital Platforms, a separate company offering mobile application services on behalf of your health plan.
