LiveHealth Online is a virtual service that allows you to video-chat with board-certified medical/mental health professionals about your health/mental heath needs and receive prescriptions.

  • All you need is a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer with a camera and internet access. 
  • LiveHealth Online is covered by UC SHIP but is also available to students who have waived UC SHIP.
  • It is a great alternative to the traditional in-office appointment when you’re away from campus, too busy for long waits, unable to access to Student Health Services (SHS) or Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) due to holidays/campus closures or prefer the convenience of an online visit.
Connect with LiveHealth Online:

    UCSHIP Enrolled Students:

    Be sure to indicate your UC SHIP/ Anthem enrollment when registering for an account.  

    Note: A credit card is required to schedule all appointments.  If you  are enrolled in UCSHIP seeking Behavioral Health appointments,  you will have a zero co-pay,  and the card will not be charged. 

    NON-UCSHIP Enrolled Students:
    • Students who have waived UC SHIP will pay  for sessions based on the indicated insurance they have.  If your insurance carrier includes LiveHealth online as a benefit, you will be charged for the co-pay in your plan.   Students may be able to submit their receipts for services to their insurance companies for partial or full reimbursement (you will need to speak to your insurance company to determine if they will cover any or all of these visits).  Otherwise, anyone can pay for the services, regardless of insurance.  Current  costs are: $80 per social worker session, $95 per psychologist session and $175 for the initial psychiatrist’s evaluation ($75 for follow-up psychiatrist care). ​​

    Note: CAPS is not responsible for any changes in costs. Be sure to consult Livehealth online for updated pricing.
