Included Health physicians span all conditions and specialty areas, including: back and knee pain, cancer, heart disease, arthritis, behavioral health disorders, migraines, digestive system disorders, dermatology, pediatrics, ACL tears, and much more.

Included Health selects physicians based on their education and training, patient outcomes, and location. As a result, we’re able to match you with highly experienced doctors and specialists who are best suited to your personal preferences and medical needs.

Typically, you’ll only pay your regular copay and office visit fees for seeing an in-network doctor. For further details, call the Included Health Care Team.

Most doctors are glad to get the opinions of their peers when assessing complicated medical issues. Their primary goal is to get you feeling better. A good way to frame a conversation with your treating physician regarding a Included Health expert opinion is:

• “I requested a consultation about [condition] and here’s what I learned…”
• “Here’s what I was surprised to find out…”
• “Dr. Smith recommended these options for my care because of these reasons…”

Any personal health information you share with Included Health is held confidentially and will not be shared by us, unless authorized by you, or where legally permissible and/or required under applicable law.

Included Health is not affiliated with your insurance, and operates separately to guide your ongoing care. The goal of Included Health is to provide you with useful information about your health so that you can make informed decisions about your medical care, and have healthier outcomes overall.

The last four digits of your SSN are needed to confirm both your identity when creating an account and your eligibility for the Included Health benefit.

When you reach out to Included Health to get started, you will be assigned a Care Team which is comprised of a Staff Physician, Care Coordinator and Records Specialist. Your Care Team will take care of all the logistics of your case, from finding the right expert physician to collecting your medical records. After your local treating physician has received the Expert Opinion from the selected expert physician (with a courtesy copy to you), your Care Team will follow up with you to answer any questions and make sure your needs have been met, and start any additional cases if necessary.
