UK-insured Employees Will be Automatically Registered With LiveHealth Online
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 18, 2020) — The University of Kentucky is making it easier for employees with a UK health insurance plan to see a health care provider online.
Now, employees with UK health insurance can visit a doctor, therapist or psychiatrist on a smartphone, tablet or computer with a webcam using LiveHealth Online. Beginning April 1, video medical visits with LiveHealth Online are covered at 100% through UK’s health insurance, so costs for a medical visit through LiveHealth Online are $0. Online mental health visits remain at the current $25 co-pay.
LiveHealth Online has been available to employees on a UK health insurance plan since September 2017, but scheduling a visit required an online registration step. Now, all UK-insured employees will be automatically registered, making it even easier to schedule an appointment. Employees will receive an email from LiveHealth Online asking to create a password and complete the account registration.
LiveHealth Online also comes with a mobile app. More information is available through the LiveHealth Online website.
