What does it cost?

Video visits are covered by most health plans and are also covered by Medicare during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Please note that many usual "face-to-face" services can be provided via video technology. However, preventive services such as well child checks and annual exams cannot be billed via telehealth. If these services are provided they will be billed as an "office visit via telehealth" and applicable insurance copayments and deductibles will apply.

Are video visits secure?

Yes, UCLA Health uses a HIPAA-compliant method for conducting video visits. This means the information is securely transmitted and is treated the same way it would be if you were meeting with your doctor in person.

Video Visit Troubleshooting Suggestions:

If you're having any issues with your video visit, turn your phone completely off and back on.
- If the problem continues, try turning off Wi-Fi
If you have audio problems, leave the meeting and try the following before rejoining:
1. Ensure volume is turned up and phone audio is not turned off.
2. Turn audio off and back on.
  - If #1 or #2 does not work, try connecting wired headphones.
Ensure you are on a browser other than Internet Explorer.
If all else fails, please call the myUCLAhealth help desk at (855) 364-7052.
