Prevention and Treatment of Illness

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is committed to helping you get the care you need as quickly and conveniently and as affordably as possible. Rather than pay a higher copay for an emergency room visit, employees can take advantage of these cost- and time-saving health care options.

  • Healthcare at Home:
    • VUMC Telehealth: Employees enrolled in the VUMC health plan can schedule on-demand telehealth visits through the My Health at Vanderbilt mobile app or web portal. Telehealth appointments are available seven days a week, from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. and are staffed by Vanderbilt Health nurse practitioners, who can diagnose and treat a wide range of non-emergent medical conditions, including allergies, sinus infection, rashes and bug bites. Appointments are charged at the tier 1 rate.
    • Vanderbilt Health OnCall: Serving Nashville-Davidson County and the cities of Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville and Nolensville, Vanderbilt Health OnCall brings a Vanderbilt Health nurse practitioner to your home or office to treat common illnesses, such as strep, flu, colds and urinary tract infections. Vanderbilt Health OnCall providers can also write prescriptions. Appointments are available seven days a week, from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. and are charged at the tier 1 rate.
