SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

Save Time and Money With Virtual Care
Published October 14, 2021
SchoolCare medical plan participants have access to a full complement of virtual care offerings that can help save you time and money. According to Cigna, virtual healthcare spiked 163% among SchoolCare participants last year. With virtual options you can access care from anywhere via video or phone and get quality care from board-certified doctors and pediatricians as well as licensed counselors and psychiatrists.
Minor Medical & Wellness Screenings
Save yourself a trip to the doctor’s office, urgent care or emergency room with virtual care for wellness visits and minor medical issues. Minor medical includes sore throat, allergies, cold and flu, rashes and more.
Benefits of virtual care include:
- Schedule an appointment quickly and easily online.
- Access virtual care 24/7/365 – even on weekends and holidays.
- Have a prescription sent directly to a local pharmacy, if appropriate.
- Lower cost than emergency room or urgent care center visits, and sometimes even less than an in-office primary care provider visit.
Wellness screenings are conducted through MD Live and require completion of an MD Live health assessment and a visit to a local lab for bloodwork and biometrics for the doctor to review during your appointment. Learn more (links to wellness screening flyer)
Behavioral Health
Your medical plan also includes a variety of virtual behavioral health care options including:
- Access to more than 44,000 clinicians in Cigna’s behavioral network who you can meet with online
- Private text therapy options with providers like Talkspace
- Virtual counseling, work/life referrals and resources through the Cigna Employee Assistance Program
- Online coaching and support for behavioral health, mental health and lifestyle management
