PHIL: Virtual care has evolved in a way that will help healthcare become more accessible, simple, and convenient for everyone.

ONSCREEN TEXT: Connecting simplicity
with convenience
Phil speaks in voiceover. In a UHC office, he walks with a brown-haired woman, then sits on a couch while meeting with other employees, who smile and nod.
PHIL: As virtual care evolves, and moves into this post-pandemic period, what we see is it’s become more than “I need to connect with my physician for an urgent care visit.” It becomes more about what I can access and use this virtual care, not just for what’s called my primary care…
Text scrolls by. Checkmarks appear next to the words, “Primary care,” Chronic care,” “Specialty care,” and “Behavioral care” as they pass.
PHIL: …but for my chronic care, for specialty, for behavioral.
Phil interviews.
PHIL: For all sorts of different things that maybe I wasn’t receiving telephonically before.

PHIL: There’s always a place for what I’ll call virtual urgent care.
An animation shows a crescent moon rising in a cloudy sky. The view pulls back through a window, revealing a lamp on a side table beside a sofa. A white cat snoozes on top of the sofa. The torso of a person holding a phone comes into view.
PHIL: And you know what, it’s a Saturday night, I just need to see the nearest person as possible, perhaps my son got a cut or my daughter has a rash. Rather than using an emergency room visit, someone is gonna be able to access a much less expensive – and frankly more practical – virtual urgent care visit that’s gonna cost a fraction of an ER visit.

health needs
Phil interviews.
PHIL: When you think about behavioral providers overall just being in really short supply around the country…
A smiling man and woman walk down a sunny street. A man carries his daughter on his shoulders through a field. A farmer leans on a wooden fence. A person in a hardhat walks through towering stacks of thin wood. A woman wanders through a greenhouse brimming with green tomatoes.
PHIL: ...depending on what geographical area you live in, and let’s say I live three, four hours from a metro area, there may not be a huge amount of supply for a behavioral health provider.
A woman speaks to a doctor via a video call on her phone. A person walks hand in hand with a young child through a sprawling field of growing crops. Phil interviews.
PHIL: And now with the onset of virtual care, I’ve got ten, fifteen different options that I never had before. And so UnitedHealthcare were really thinking about making sure our network is configured in such a way that we have tons of providers who are ready, willing, and able to serve those consumers in a virtual setting.
Several circles containing illustrated healthcare-related icons appear in a web. A woman types on a laptop beside a large construction vehicle. Blue text appears against a white background.
ONSCREEN TEXT: Virtual care
continues to evolve
Phil interviews.
PHIL: What I can’t emphasize enough is that in the future virtual is not some separate channel, it’s not its own independent thing.
A doctor with a man-bun sits at a table and speaks into his laptop. Another doctor in her office wearing a headset with a stethoscope around her neck speaks to a webcam. A teenage girl video calls a doctor via her phone. Phil interviews.
PHIL: Virtual will be completely integrated into the overall course of care that you have with your physician. And you know what? Today I just, I don’t have time to make it into the office, so I’m going to see that physician virtually, or whether you’re building a virtual relationship it’s not this separate isolated thing. It really is integrated into your overall course of care.
An animation shows three test tube rack filled with yellow, blue, and orange substances.
PHIL: I’m gonna be able to take my tests and send them to a physician.
An envelope labeled “Rx” slides across the view and an orange ribbon descends from its top edge.

PHIL: If they prescribe, I’m going to be able to get that prescription delivered to me on the same day.

PHIL: We’re really striving to meet this modern consumer where they are at.
