Use the guide below to help you use the plan wisely, save money on any out-of-pocket costs, and choose the most appropriate care for your situation when you or your family member needs care.

Virtual Care
When you have a medical need, and you want to connect with someone quickly, a virtual care visit (or telemedicine) visit is likely a good—and convenient—solution. Each Nutanix medical plan gives you access to telemedicine services. Connect with board-certified physicians 24/7, 365 days a year, without having to leave the comfort of your own home.
- UnitedHealthcare provides Optum Virtual Care for 24/7. You can also download the UnitedHealthcare app. Video (with audio) visits can be requested on demand or scheduled.
- Kaiser Permanente provides Video Visits. You can also connect to Video Visits through Kaiser’s app.
Primary Care
When your issue is not immediate but does require you to see a doctor in person, schedule an appointment with your primary care provider. Keep in mind, using in-network providers saves you and the plan money. When you are in need of in-person care, here’s how to find a doctor in your network.

Remember
Preventive care is always covered at 100% in-network, so you pay nothing.
Urgent Care
Sometimes immediate care needs arise. For those that are non-life-threatening, head to an urgent care facility. Like primary care, using an in-network urgent care clinic will save you and the plan money. Visit your medical plan provider’s website to find a local facility.

Prescriptions
The cost of prescription drugs is rising faster than many other healthcare services and supplies. But there are ways for you to save.
- Ask your doctor about generic medications. Generic medications are generally just as effective as brand-name medications, but they typically cost much less.
- Use the mail-order feature. If you take maintenance medication to treat a chronic condition—such as an allergy, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes—the convenience and cost savings of the mail-order prescription program will save you time and money.
Why use mail-order?
- Prescriptions are shipped to you for free—no waiting in line at the pharmacy.
- You save money with a reduced cost for a three-month supply.
- You can set up automatic refills.
Generic medications
A generic drug is a prescription drug that has the same active-ingredient formula as a brand-name drug. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand-name drugs. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rates these drugs to be as safe and effective as brand-name drugs.
