Insurance coverage and cost

Online visits cost $49, or your insurance co-pay, whichever is less. This cost does not include necessary prescriptions, over-the-counter treatments or follow-up visits you may need. 

You may submit your receipt to your insurance company, but we cannot guarantee you will be reimbursed. Everyday Online is not currently reimbursable with Medicare.

Prescriptions

Everyday Online providers are licensed and able to prescribe certain medications as part of your care plan, if clinically appropriate, but are unable to prescribe pain medications or narcotics. If a prescription medication is part of your treatment plan, you can send it to your pharmacy. Allina Health Everyday Online is not an online pharmacy and does not fill prescriptions.

Consider an eVisit when you need quick, secure and convenient online care from a provider you’ve seen before. You can start an eVisit for non-emergency care from home or on the go instead of scheduling an appointment. An Allina Health account is required to access eVisits.

You’ll fill out a questionnaire about your symptoms, and your provider (or a provider you have seen) will respond with a personalized care plan within three business days. 

Keep in mind that eVisits should only be used for non-urgent medical conditions and mental health concerns. In a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 immediately.

Are eVisits available for children?

An eVisit for a patient who is aged 12 or under may be submitted by the patient’s parent or legal guardian. Note: If you submit an eVisit for a minor child, you attest you are a parent and/or legal guardian and have the legal right to access the child’s medical information and to complete an eVisit on the child’s behalf.

What conditions can be treated with an eVisit?

• back pain 
• birth control evaluation
• cough
• headache 
• heartburn
• pink eye 
• sinus problems 
• urinary tract infection
