Telemedicine allows you to have a virtual visit with a provider starting at $0 with insurance or $30 without insurance. This is a great option if you have limited transportation, available clinics in your area that fit your need, or just simply like the convenience of doing the visit in the comfort of your home. Doctors can prescribe common medicines as long as it’s not controlled substances, like a narcotic. Some examples of reasons to do a virtual office visit are common allergies, flu or cold symptoms, minor skin conditions, and mental health therapy. Tele-visits can be on the computer, on the phone, or through video services like zoom. The top four virtual visit platforms based on customer care satisfaction of Google and TrustedPilot reviews are:
1) SesameCare 2) Open Path Psychotherapy Collective 3) MD Live 4) Teladoc.
