Accolade is your first place to turn to whenever you have a health benefits question, big or small. Your Accolade Health Assistant will take the time to get to know you, understand your needs, provide support with your PayPal benefits, and answer questions like:
- Can you help me find a doctor that meets my needs?
- I need help scheduling an appointment.
- Is there a more affordable medication?
- I was just diagnosed with a condition. What’s next?
- Can you help me prepare for my next doctor’s visit?

Your Health Assistant can even connect you to a nurse who can help you understand symptoms, learn about a condition, or explore treatment options.

Virtual care through Accolade Care
You have access to Accolade Care, allowing you to see doctors and therapists by phone or computer — day or night. Get support for urgent care needs, including the flu, a sore throat, or an infection, or virtually see the same doctor or therapist for ongoing care needs, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Virtual care can be used for many of the same reasons you would visit a doctor in person, such as for prescriptions, mental health, or sleep problems.
Your cost for virtual care services is based on your medical plan’s coverage for office visits.
Note: Accolade Care is not available to Kaiser medical plan members or to those who waived medical coverage.
Second medical opinion through Accolade Expert MD
