GERD / Acid Reflux treatment with UnitedHealthcare Student Resources

Clindle clinicians are in-network with UnitedHealthcare Student Resources and clinicians treat gerd / acid reflux over a same-day video visit. Most UHC Student Resources members pay only their standard office-visit copay.

About GERD / Acid Reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, cough, hoarseness, or a sour taste — especially at night or after meals. Untreated GERD can lead to esophagitis, strictures, and Barrett's esophagus. Clindle treats GERD with lifestyle changes (weight, alcohol, late meals, head-of-bed elevation), H2 blockers like famotidine, and proton-pump inhibitors like omeprazole or pantoprazole, stepped down once symptoms are controlled. Alarm features — trouble swallowing, weight loss, vomiting blood, age >60 with new symptoms — earn a GI referral for endoscopy.

UHC Student Resources coverage at Clindle

Clindle accepts UnitedHealthcare Student Resources, the student health plans offered through many colleges and universities. Students can book video visits for everyday concerns, mental health and prescription needs without leaving campus. We verify your student plan benefits before the visit.

We verify your specific UHC Student Resources plan before the visit and tell you the expected out-of-pocket cost up front. If your plan doesn't cover telehealth, you can use the flat $50 self-pay rate instead.
