Aetna, a CVS Health company, is adding "Aetna Virtual Primary Care" to its health care offerings.
This new service is powered by Teladoc's health model and complemented by Aetna's provider network and CVS Health services.
"The future of digital health solutions is rapidly unfolding," Dan Finke, executive vice president of CVS Health and President of Aetna's health care benefits segment, told Cision PR Newswire. "Aetna Virtual Primary Care is a first-of-its-kind health care solution that provides a simple, affordable, convenient way for eligible members to receive quality primary care from a physician-led care team that knows them and is accessible from virtually anywhere."
Members with Aetna Virtual Primary Care will have no copay for virtual primary care visits and select in-person services, a virtual nurse care team through unlimited in-app texting, in-person visits with in-network health care providers with no referral requirements, and a diverse panel of board-certified physicians and coordinated care.
"Aetna Virtual Primary Care gives our members the power of choice and convenience, making it easier for people to get and stay healthy, even when balancing the demands of work and life," Finke said, according to Cision PR Newswire. "This, coupled with access to in-person visits with providers in our network, including MinuteClinic and HealthHUB locations, provides the flexibility needed for better health outcomes."
