The NCMS Plan is pleased to offer telehealth services from MDLIVE effective with renewals beginning January 2018. MDLIVE is a convenient, cost-effective care option for your covered members’ minor health issues. MDLIVE is a standard benefit with all of our health products.

MDLIVE’s doctors can diagnose symptoms, prescribe non-narcotic medication and send e-prescriptions right to the patient’s pharmacy of choice. MDLIVE offers virtual care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by secure online video. No appointment is necessary, and it takes just minutes to connect with an MDLIVE doctor.

Employees pay for an MDLIVE video consult the same as a visit with their primary doctor. For plans with a copay, they’ll pay the usual copay for a doctor’s visit. For plans with deductible and coinsurance, they’ll pay no more than $45. It’s also a qualified expense for HSAs, HRAs and FSAs.

MDLIVE is a HIPAA- and PHI-compliant solution that uses secure video via computer, tablet or mobile app. Employees gain easy access to U.S. board-certified doctors licensed to practice in the state. Specialties range from primary care and internal medicine to pediatrics and family medicine — so they can treat many different non-emergency health problems.

Three ways to activate MDLIVE:

1. Download the MDLIVE app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Go to mdlive.com/ncvideodoc and click “Activate Now”
3. Call 888-657-9982
