"We're excited to be able to bring this innovative care option to patients," said Troyen A. Brennan, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health.
Customers, ages 2 and above, can discuss treatment for minor illnesses, injuries or conditions.
Each patient must complete a health questionnaire before being matched to a board-certified health care provider licensed in their state. That health care provider will review the completed questionnaire with the patient's medical history and proceed with the virtual, video visit.
The digital doctor service is available through the CVS Pharmacy app.
