Vital Medication Program

With UnitedHealthcare’s Vital Medication Program, certain preferred prescription drugs are available at no additional cost.* This means there may be no out-of-pocket cost, copay or deductible on certain prescription drugs that may be essential to your health. ​These preferred prescription drugs include: 

  • insulin – rapid, short and long-acting
  • epineprine – allergic reactions 
  • glucagon – hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)  
  • naloxone – opioid overuse 
  • albuterol – asthma 

Get care, virtually anywhere

With 24/7 Virtual Visits, you can connect to a Designated Virtual Visit Provider by phone or video* — for $0 cost — using myuhc.com® or the UnitedHealthcare® app. These Virtual Visit providers are part of a select group of network doctors focused on providing quality virtual care when you need it. They can treat a wide range of health conditions, from flu and pinkeye to migraines and more, and can even prescribe medication** as needed. Since 24/7 Virtual Visits can treat many of the same conditions as an ER or urgent care, so it may be a good option to use as an alternative — particularly in times when your primary care provider isn’t available.

Connect 24/7 with Virtual Visits

With 24/7 Virtual Visits, you can connect to a care provider by phone or video* through myuhc.com® or the UnitedHealthcare® app. Providers can treat a range of non-emergency health conditions — and may even prescribe medication as needed**.

  • Allergies
  • Bronchitis
  • Eye infections
  • Flu
  • Headaches / migraines
  • Rashes
  • Sore throats

  • Stress relief
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Coping with grief and loss
  • Medication management
  • Compulsive habits and eating disorders

Behavioral health virtual visits

Reaching out may be hard —especially if you might not want anyone to know you’re hurting. From the privacy of home and the convenience of your mobile device* or computer, you can receive caring support from a licensed therapist.

Designed to help treat conditions like ADD/ADHD, anxiety, mental health disorders, addiction, and depression, virtual therapy offers confidential counseling and includes: 

  • Private video sessions — in your home and at a time that’s convenient for you 
  • Help with coping for adults, children, and teens — your licensed therapist may provide a diagnosis, treatment and medication if needed 
  • Similar standard of care as in-person visits — you can see the same therapist with each appointment and establish an ongoing relationship 

Once your coverage is effective, be sure to register on myuhc.com or call the number on your health plan ID card.
