November News Bites

  • If you catch the flu, see a doctor with Virtual Visits. Fighting the flu is no fun, and neither is going to the doctor—but with Virtual Visits, you can see and talk to a doctor about your symptoms from the comfort of your home via phone, tablet or computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Plus, a typical visit only takes about 10 – 15 minutes. For a Virtual Visit, log in to myuhc.com or the UnitedHealthcare Health4Me® app, and choose a virtual provider group. If you have questions, call 1.844.234.7924.

If you have a Dependent Care FSA, all unused funds will be forfeited after Dec. 31. You have until March 31, 2018, to submit your 2017 FSA expenses.
