COVID-19 Vaccines
Vaccines for COVID-19 will continue to
be covered as a preventive service with no cost shares, when administered by an
in-network provider. Cost sharing may be applied when a vaccine is administered
by an out-of-network provider.
Vaccines are now more widely
accessible in the U.S. and they are safe and effective. Learn more and
find out where you can get your vaccine at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) website.

See a Provider Online from your Home
Medical experts recommend using
virtual health care options when possible, as it can help prevent the spread of
infectious diseases, and improve access to care. Telehealth is a safe and
effective way for members to see a doctor to receive health guidance related to
COVID-19 from their homes via smart phone, tablet or computer.
Anthem’s LiveHealth Online program
is available to MMEHT members. Using LiveHealth Online, you can have a
private video visit with a doctor via technology to assess your symptoms and
determine if testing for COVID-19 is warranted. You may also get quick
care for a common health issue, or access a provider through the Employee
Assistance Program (EAP).
In addition, Anthem’s Sydney Care App now
includes a symptom assessment tool. This will give you a quick and easy
way to assess your symptoms and then, if you choose to, the app can connect you
with a doctor through a LiveHealth Online video session or a Virtual Care text
session right from your phone.
