Can’t get a doctor live? OK, talk to one virtually, online.

Your Doctors Online 

What it is

Your Doctors Online is an online doctor service (virtual clinic). You use your phone or computer to talk to a doctor instead of going to a clinic.

What you can do on it

  • Chat or video call a doctor anytime (24/7)
  • Get prescriptions or refills
  • Get lab test forms or referrals
  • Get sick notes for work or school
  • Ask about common health issues (cold, infections, skin, etc.)

Key benefits

  • Fast access – talk to a doctor in minutes
  • Convenient – use it from home, no travel or waiting rooms
  • Available 24/7 – including nights and weekends
  • Helpful if you don’t have a family doctor
  • Good for routine or minor health issues

Important limitation

Not for emergencies (such as chest pain or serious injury). Some conditions still require in-person care.

Bottom line

It is essentially a ‘walk-in clinic on your phone’—fast and convenient for everyday health issues.
