How Do I Find a Virtual Health Provider?

Virtual Health Requirements

If you are an active duty service member you will need a referral for all virtual health visits.

You will need a computer or mobile device with a strong internet connection for a video conference during your virtual health appointment. Be sure to read more about virtual health requirements and exclusions.
