Doctor's note with Empire Plan

If you carry Empire Plan, you can request a doctor's note for missed work, school, or travel through a telehealth visit reviewed for your plan. A licensed clinician reviews your symptoms and issues a signed note.

Ondoc is in network with Empire Plan and accepts it for online visits. Your exact eligibility, active status, benefits, and plan applicability are verified by our insurance verification team.

Ondoc accepts self-pay and major commercial insurance. Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted.

FAQs for Empire Plan members

Does Empire Plan cover an online doctor's-note visit?

Most Empire Plan plans often include telehealth visits for acute symptoms (cold, flu, GI upset, etc.) at the same rate as an in-person visit. Select insurance during discovery to see Ondoc’s current payer status. Member-specific eligibility, active status, and benefits are verified by our insurance verification team.

What if insurance does not apply?

Self-pay is available for the Ondoc visit, and you choose whether to continue before any payment.

Can I use my Empire Plan HSA or FSA?

Yes. Telehealth visits and notes for medically documented absences are HSA / FSA eligible.
