1 Nationally recommended preventive care services received in-network have no copay and no deductible requirement.
2 Virtual care visits, including medical chats and video visits using the Sydney Health app are at no cost to members for most plans. Those enrolled in High-Deductible Health Plans associated with a Health Savings Account and Catastrophic plans must first meet their deductible. Virtual care visits refer to medical chats and/or video consultation, as deemed appropriate by a licensed physician. In addition to using a telehealth service, members can receive in-person or virtual care from their own doctor or another healthcare provider in their plan’s network. If members receive care from a doctor or healthcare provider not in their plan’s network, their share of the costs may be higher. Members may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by their health plan. Sydney Health is offered through an arrangement with Carelon Digital Platforms, a separate company offering mobile application services on behalf of their health plan. ©2023
