About Premera MyCare

Premera MyCare specializes in providing members a timely and personalized virtual care experience. It gives access to 24/7, on-demand, text based primary care provided by 98point6® for Premera members who qualify. 98point6 provides on-demand diagnosis, treatment, and consultation from board-certified physicians and sends necessary prescriptions to your pharmacy—all via secure, in-app messaging. 98point6 is available nationwide, 24/7, 365 days a year.

Quality of care
The 98point6 virtual clinic is staffed by carefully selected, board-certified physicians who are passionate about making care more accessible and affordable. They are trained on best practices to safely treat and diagnose via text-based care. (98point6 supports photo, video and audio as needed.)

Visits and treatments
98point6 board-certified physicians are available on-demand to diagnose and treat, answer questions, offer peace of mind, and when it matters, guide you toward the most appropriate next steps. Labs orders and in-network referrals will be initiated when necessary.

Common conditions treated include:
• Cold, cough, and flu
• Urinary tract infections (UTI)
• Acid reflux, heartburn, and digestive issues
• Yeast infections or sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Muscle sprains and strains
• Seasonal allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues
• Skin conditions, rashes, bites, and sunburn
• Women’s health, such as birth control
• Nausea, stomach flu, and gastroenteritis
• General health questions
• ...and more

Prescriptions
98point6 physicians can prescribe a wide variety of medications. However, they do not prescribe controlled substances (such as Percocet), muscle relaxants (such as Flexeril), lifestyle medications (such as Viagra or Propecia) or medications that require strict monitoring. Their physicians adhere to evidence-based standards with respect to the responsible use of antibiotics. If they are unable to prescribe a medication, it’s likely due to a combination of factors, including state and federal regulations related to virtual care practices, as well as what’s in the best interest of your safety and well-being.
