"We’re excited to now be able to offer MinuteClinic video visits in Colorado, Illinois and New Jersey as we continue to build our national practice for our virtual care offering. This new MinuteClinic service demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-quality care when and where our patients need it, at prices they can afford; providing people who live and work in these states with access to an innovative, on-demand health care option right from their cell phone or computer."

Sharon Vitti, president of the MinuteClinic division of CVS Health, in a statement issued earlier this week as the company announced an expansion of its "video visit" service, which now encompasses 40 states.
