Ovia Health provides personalized support for women and their families during COVID-19:

  • Evidence-based education to improve knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms and answer health questions.
  • Timely and appropriate navigation to care, including how to access testing and care, virtual or onsite. Using the results of the symptom tool, Ovia navigates members to the right resource based on their risk profile.
  • Mental health & social support from Ovia's coaching team of medical professionals and moms.

To get started, Medica members can download one, or all three Ovia Health apps from the App Store or Google Play: Ovia, Ovia Pregnancy or Ovia Parenting. Members should choose "I have Ovia Health as a benefit" before tapping "Sign up."

Virtual Care

Virtual care is a convenient way for members to get care for many common medical conditions by connecting with a provider from their computer or mobile device from home, work or wherever they are. Although confirmation and testing of COVID-19 cannot be done via virtual care, members experiencing symptoms can get help assessing risk and receive recommendations on next steps.

How members can access virtual care:

  • Check with their clinic to see if virtual care is available and learn how to connect with their provider online.
  • Access virtual care through Amwell, a 24/7 online clinic available in all states – Amwell.com
  • Check other virtual care options that may be available through their plan's network (such as virtuwell):
    - Go to our Find Care page and select your plan, then click on Virtual Care Providers – Find Care 

Available to all fully insured and self-funded plans.
