This service is provided by NYC Health + Hospitals / ExpressCare and is available as part of your MetroPlusHealth coverage, at no cost to you!

MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is available anytime, from anywhere in New York State, 24/7 – and in your language.  You can connect with a board-certified or licensed provider, including Emergency medicine trained medical doctors and psychiatrists, social workers, and addiction counselors. MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit provides interpretation in over 200 languages. No appointments needed!

Our providers can access your health history, order lab testing, write prescriptions, and coordinate your follow-up with primary and specialty care and other services that you may need.  And care doesn’t end with your visit.  MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit, powered by ExpressCare, will work with your doctor for any follow-up care you may need.
