Some virtual doctor visit provider groups list other services like nutrition counseling, lactation services, therapy, and psychology services. Are these covered under my virtual doctor visit benefit?

Not at this time. While you can choose to obtain these additional services from the virtual doctor visit provider, the services will not be covered under your virtual doctor visit benefit and you will be responsible for the full cost of these services. The costs for these services will not count towards your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
