Primary360 offers convenient access to high-quality primary care that revolves around you–your lifestyle, your needs and your health. It starts by selecting your primary care provider and building an ongoing relationship coupled with a dedicated Care Team of registered nurses and care coordinators that gets to know you as a person, not just another patient. From the annual checkup and ongoing wellness needs to managing chronic conditions and more complex challenges, members have access to trusted medical care and personalized support.

Eligible adults—ages 18 years and older—can use Primary360. Primary360 is ideal for those who don’t currently have a primary care provider or those who see their primary care provider less often than they should.

Prior to your visit, your chosen primary care provider will review the information provided through the Primary360 assessment. During the visit, expect to spend about 45 minutes with your chosen primary care provider as they will check your blood pressure (recorded from the blood pressure cuff that will be sent to you), assess your body mass index by reviewing your height and weight and have an in-depth discussion about your personal and family medical history to make sure you are in good health.

Video visits are preferred and you will also have the ability to upload images of anything you’d like the doctor to specifically look at. Your primary care provider may order labs, radiology or a referral to a specialist as clinically appropriate and your dedicated Care Team will work with you to find an in-network lab or specialist that meets your preferences and is conveniently located. Results will be reviewed with you by your provider, incorporated into your care plan and uploaded to your Teladoc account.

After your visit, your primary care provider and Care Team will create a personalized care plan that will always be accessible through your Teladoc account.

Your primary care provider can order lab work, imaging studies, referrals and vaccinations. If needed, your Care Team will assist you in connecting to an in-network lab or facility of your choice. Results will be reviewed with you by your provider, incorporated in your care plan and uploaded to your Teladoc account.

Yes. Our primary care providers can start new medications as clinically necessary and appropriate and can prescribe refills for maintenance medications for a full year. We do not prescribe opioids, narcotics and other DEA-controlled substances.

If you are sick and in need of care right away, you can request a General Medical visit to talk to a doctor 24/7 for non-emergency conditions like cold and flu, sinus infections, allergies and more.
