Costs
All RelayHealth services are free except the webVisit. If webVisits are a covered benefit of your plan, and your plan requires a copay for a typical office visit, that same copay amount will be charged for a webVisit. If your plan does not cover webVisits, the cost is determined by your doctor. You will be notified of the cost before you begin the webVisit.
