Presbyterian Senior Care (HMO) and Presbyterian MediCare PPO | Summer 2022 | Your Story

8 $0 telehealth benefit for 2022 Presbyterian Senior Care (HMO) and Presbyterian MediCare PPO members can make a telehealth appointment with most in-network providers for $0. Telehealth or telemedicine appointments are visits with a provider through video or online messaging services. Using telehealth allows members to safely and more easily access care when they may have a hard time making an in-person visit. It also gives members more options to get the care they need to stay healthy. This benefit only applies to in-network providers, including primary care, urgent care, specialty care, and therapy providers. For plans with a deductible, telehealth appointments are 0 percent cost share after the deductible is met. Not all providers offer telehealth services, and it is not advised for all services. We advise members to contact their provider to learn more about their telehealth options. Please note that members on a Presbyterian Dual Plus plan may pay 0 percent to 20 percent of the total cost for telehealth benefits. There are many options for members to get care online or by phone. Our telehealth options vary by a member’s healthcare needs, provider, and insurance plan. For a complete list of telehealth options, please visit our telehealth webpage at www.phs.org/tools-resources/ member/telehealth.

We use the results to find the areas that we need to improve.
