Telemedicine Offered Through LSU First

Effective February 1, 2023, telemedicine services through LSU First have transitioned from Health Anywhere to Ochsner Connected Anywhere. 

Ochsner Connected Anywhere provides Urgent Care and Behavioral Health telemedicine services to LSU First participants at a First Choice network benefit level. First Choice Provider claims are paid at 100% after HRA (Health Reimbursement Account) is exhausted. Ochsner Connected Anywhere connects you to a licensed healthcare provider so you can get a diagnosis and treatment plan without ever having to leave your home or office. With an Ochsner Connected Anywhere telemedicine visit, you can get on-demand virtual urgent care 24/7 online or on our app, and you can also connect with a licensed therapist online by appointment. 

  • Urgent Care allows you to get immediate medical attention 24/7 for common illnesses, such as allergies and sinus issues, cold/flu/cough, fever, pink eye, rashes, shortness of breath, sore throat, stomach aches, and more. Board- certified providers will assess your condition, offer a diagnosis and treatment plan, and prescribe medication.
  • Behavioral Health allows you to see a licensed therapist from the comfort of your own home. You can schedule recurring virtual appointments for issues such as addiction, anxiety and panic attacks, depression and mood disorders, eating disorders, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more. 

To get started, visit OchsnerConnectedAnywhere.com or download the Ochsner Connected Anywhere app in the App Store or Google Play. Provide all required information to register your account and select “LSU First” as your insurance provider.
