Additional Benefits

24/7 Access to Telemedicine with Teladoc**
Talk to a doctor any time—for a $0 copay. Connect with board-certified doctors through video chat or phone for prescriptions, help diagnosing and treating non-emergency conditions, and more. Access to dermatologists is also available.
**Telemedicine isn’t a replacement for your primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP should always be your first choice for care (both in-person and virtual visits).

See better with Healthfirst Vision Benefits
Taking care of your eyes doesn’t just mean having clear vision. An annual eye exam can help detect a number of health risks, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, high blood pressure, and other conditions. Healthfirst has made it easy for our members to take advantage of this often overlooked preventive service by providing access to comprehensive vision care.

Dental Care That Keeps You Smiling
Healthfirst believes that providing you with good dental care is important to your overall healthcare. Covered services include regular and routine dental services such as preventive dental checkups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and other services to check for any changes or abnormalities that may require treatment and/or follow-up care for you. You do not need a referral from your PCP to see a dentist.
