HealthiestYou
HealthiestYouTM (by Teladoc) is offered to Augusta University students through United Healthcare.
What are the Fees?
- There is no consultation fee if you are covered by the Augusta University-Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP),
underwritten by United Healthcare.
- If you are not covered by SHIP, you can still call and only pay a $40 consultation fee. Please check with your insurance company to see if this service is reimbursable
under your plan.
Telemedicine physicians can diagnose and treat most minor acute illnesses and prescribe
medications, if necessary, without you having to leave your home.
To consult a physician, call the United Healthcare 24-hour phone line: 1-855-870-5858 to talk to a board-certified physician. You can also access care from your smartphone,
tablet, or computer. To set up an online account and download the app, please visit
the HealthiestYou website.
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that your Student Health Fee does not cover care received outside of the Student Health Clinic. However, if your symptoms are truly an emergency or an urgent situation, please
seek care immediately at the most appropriate facility, this is when having health
insurance is important!
Make sure you always bring your health insurance information whenever you seek medical care, emergency, urgent, or routine services at the Student
Health on-campus clinic.
