As previously announced, employees and family members enrolled in IU-sponsored employee medical insurance will have access to employee health centers through Marathon Health starting Wednesday.

The Marathon Health Network consists of eight health centers across Indiana — seven established centers in the Indianapolis area and a new center in Bloomington — as well as additional locations in other states. The centers offer a broad range of in-person health services, including preventive and acute care, management of chronic conditions, lab services, health coaching and mental/behavioral health counseling.

For those who prefer or require remote consultations, virtual visits with Marathon Health providers will also be available for members in network states.

Preventive care and labs received through the centers will be available at no cost, while most other visits will cost just $35.

Scheduling appointments

Scheduling appointments with Marathon Health is quick and easy. Choose from the following options:

• Marathon Health app: Schedule from your smartphone.
• Online portal: Register on the web portal for easy scheduling and access to health records and services.
• Toll-free number: Call 866-434-3255 for direct assistance or to schedule mental/behavioral health visits.

The online portal offers benefits such as:

• Booking in-person or virtual consultations.
• Direct messaging with your health care team.
• Easy access to test results.
• Prescription refill requests.
• Integration with fitness devices like Fitbit, Garmin, Apple or Google Fit to monitor your health journey.

As a reminder, there is no requirement for employees to use Marathon Health; rather, it will be an additional resource to receive care.

This opening marks an important expansion of the health care options available to IU employees, offering an additional resource to receive convenient, affordable and high-quality health care.
