Insurance Coverage And Pricing
Women’s Health Connecticut Virtual Care is covered by most major insurers. Before booking your appointment, check with your insurance provider or employer resources to verify coverage and details for virtual care services. If your virtual care visits are in network with your insurance, you may still have deductibles/co-insurance and/or co-pays for your visit. Please verify those amounts with your insurance company before you begin treatment so that you understand costs and the number of visits covered.
If you’re uninsured or out of network under your plan, we can bill you direct for payment for services (self-pay). The self-pay cost can range from $145-$280, depending on services provided.
Please note, you will be considered a no-show if you do not connect with your provider within 15 minutes of the appointment. A no-show rate of $75 will be charged to you.
When In-Person Care Is The Better Option
If you are experiencing symptoms and are seeking treatment for other gynecological concerns such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), vaginitis or other unexplained feminine itching, vaginal pain, or pelvic pain, we require an in-person appointment with one of our Women’s Health Connecticut providers. To schedule an in-person appointment:
After hours:
Please contact our Women’s After-Hours Care center and book an in-person appointment.
During normal business hours:
If you are an existing patient of Women’s Health Connecticut and would like an in-person appointment during normal business hours, please reach out to your practice to schedule an in-person appointment with your provider. Or, if you are a new patient, and need in-person care, explore our list of providers to request an appointment.
NOTE: Virtual services are not a substitute for emergency care. For medical emergencies, call 9-1-1 or visit the nearest emergency department.

Will my Women’s Health Connecticut Virtual Care provider order lab work?
Yes, your virtual care provider might order labs, and results will go to that same provider. All notes and details will be in your patient chart/Athena so your other care providers can see what was ordered. You will be encouraged to get your labs done and if necessary, visit your Women’s Health Connecticut portal to receive the lab requisition (new Women’s Health Connecticut patients would need to sign up for the portal to get lab requisition). At the end of your virtual care visits, your virtual care provider will discuss the treatment plan. The provider ordering the lab work will follow up with you and your regular provider (whether that’s a Women’s Health Connecticut provider or an outside provider).
Can I get medications/prescriptions from Women’s Health Connecticut Virtual Care provider?
Yes, your virtual care provider can prescribe initial medications for up to 3 months. In order for you to receive refills/changes/authorizations, you will need to have a follow-up visit for another check in/authorization via a virtual care appointment (or your regular provider if necessary). You can book a follow-up visit via this website or portal.
In general, you will be appropriately evaluated and/or examined before prescribing or refilling medications, either through videoconferencing or in-person visits. Once your care plan is complete, you will be encouraged to go back to your usual provider or new provider for routine care and prescription monitoring, etc.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, virtual care visits are covered by most major health plans, Medicaid and Medicare. We strongly encourage you to contact your insurance provider to discuss coverage details. Virtual care services may be subject to patient out-of-pocket cost share such as co-pay, co-insurance and yearly deductible.
