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, from 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.
  • For employees enrolled in the UHC CDHP – HSA, virtual care can be obtained through Crossover. This includes virtual services for primary care, mental health, and more.
  • 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're 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.
