For complete member services visit us at: www.eshca.org
Register for MyVistNow
($25 Incentive)
MyVisitNow is an Urgent Care Telemedicine service!
  • Available 24/7/365
  • Appointments done at home or on the jobsite
  • $0 copay!!!
  • Additional services include: behavioral health therapists, psychiatrists, nutrition specialists and lactation consultants.

Why was MyVisitNow added to the ESHCA health benefits?
  • Emergency Room services are costly for the member ($250 copay) and the insurance plan. Urgent Care services require a copay ($25 copay), travel time and possible lost wages.

User notes:
  • This is Urgent Care, it is not a meeting with your personal doctor. Your doctor may offer telemedicine, however, that appointment would have a copay as if you had met with them for an office visit.
  • This is a video chat requiring a smartphone, tablet or computer with a webcam.
  • Registration is required for each user! Register yourself and your dependents now so you are prepared when you need it!
  • Note: each person needs to register separately, all dependents must complete the process as well.

80% of Chronic Diseases can be Prevented or Cured Through Lifestyle!
Good Nutrition, Sufficient Exercise, Tobacco Cessation!

January Nutrition Goal: Drink Water!!!

Excess sugar is a leading cause of chronic disease (weight gain, type 2 diabetes, heart disease)
33% of excess sugar comes from sugar-sweetened beverages!

Objective: Drink 66-99 ounces of water per day!
Research demonstrates: drinking just 40-ounces of water per day lowers the risk of heart disease 41% in women and 54% in men!

Add nutrition and flavor to your water by "infusing" a lemon or other fruits and vegetables!
