24/7 online clinic offers fast diagnosis, treatment and prescriptions for 30 simple conditions
BLOOMINGTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HealthPartners today extended the availability of virtuwell.com, the new 24/7 online clinic, to Wisconsin.
Introduced to Minnesota in late October, virtuwell offers online diagnosis, treatment, and even prescriptions for 30 common conditions, all in about 30 minutes. Experienced nurse practitioners are available day and night to treat adults and children for conditions such as cold, cough and allergy, sinus infections, ear pain, yeast and urinary tract infections, and minor skin conditions like acne and dermatitis.
The service is now available to all living in, working in or traveling to Wisconsin or Minnesota. No appointment is necessary and you do not need to be a HealthPartners health plan member. Each visit costs $40 or less, depending on the customer’s insurance coverage. The list of participating insurers will be updated regularly at virtuwell.com.
“We’ve been delighted by the response to virtuwell and the feedback we’ve heard from customers about the experience,” said Kevin Palattao, vice president, virtuwell. “We’re pleased to extend this new option for affordable, high-quality care to Wisconsin, and we look forward to adding additional locations in the future.”
