UnitedHealthcare Student Resources · Covered care
Clindle clinicians are in-network with UnitedHealthcare Student Resources and clinicians treat strep throat over a same-day video visit. Most UHC Student Resources members pay only their standard office-visit copay.
Strep throat (group A streptococcal pharyngitis) presents with sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudate — usually without cough. The CENTOR or McIsaac score helps decide who to test. Clindle orders a rapid strep test or throat culture at a lab near you when symptoms fit, and prescribes penicillin VK or amoxicillin (or azithromycin for penicillin allergy) for confirmed cases. Untreated strep can cause rheumatic fever — that's why we treat it. Drooling, severe one-sided pain, or trouble breathing means in-person evaluation.
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.
