I participated in the Amwell blog program as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation but all opinions are my own.
It’s not always easy to make time to leave home to get to a doctor. When you have a gazillion things going on and the doctor could be 30 minutes or more away, it can mean a several hour adventure. Who has time for that? Or what if you are out of town and you or your child gets sick…finding a doctor can be no fun. Thankfully, Amwell had those of us who are busy and those of us who travel…okay and everyone else, in mind.
The Amwell Medical App is a great way to see a doctor no matter where you are. You just have to have the app and, of course, the patient. The best part is, you can try Amwell for free your first visit using the code HASHTAGFREE on the Amwell app! What exactly is the Amwell app? Glad you asked…
About Amwell
It’s the nations largest telehealth company that connects users with board certified, licensed doctors for immediate, live care day or night, with an average of 15 years of practice. You can use Amwell on your mobile device or right from your desktop, whichever is easier. They will work with you on minor illnesses and injuries, general health and wellness concerns, prescription refills, and even chronic condition management. They employ primary care and even specialist physicians, along with licensed behavioral therapists and registered dietitians, so they can really meet patients’ health and wellness needs. Amwell doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are dedicated to keeping you healthy – all from the comfort of your home. No appointment needed!
After signing up and getting your health information input, you will choose the type of visit you want and select a provider. During your visit, the doctor chats with you to get your symptoms or issues. They will then diagnose and prescribe meds, when appropriate. They will also let you know if you need to follow up! Because Amwell accepts most major insurances, you hopefully will only have to pay what you normally would, but without using your vehicles gas to get there!
Here are a few of the typical issues Amwell doctors diagnose and treat
~Bronchitis
~Cough
~Sinus infection
~Sore throat
~Urinary tract infection
~Vomitting
~Diarrhea
~Fever
~Pinkeye
~Flu
~Sprains and strains
~Cold
~Respiratory infection
~Headache
~Depression
~Anxiety
~Weight concerns
~Smoking cessation
I love that, along with physicians, they also have nutritionists and therapists. Here are just a few more reasons to consider using Amwell:
Lower cost. Consumers expect online visits to be cost-savers; with in-office visits costing, on average, $82 for the first-time patients according to the Healthcare Blue Book, Amwell offers a $49 physician visit – savings of $33. Great option for students in college looking for cost-effective healthcare or those between jobs without insurance.
Accessibility. After hours, on weekends and in the middle of the night (24/7/365) availability. Great for those who don’t have transportation or when you don’t feel well enough to drive and those who are newly relocated and don’t have providers yet.
Convenience. Consumers looking for a faster appointment. Now they don’t need to schedule an appointment nor do they need to wait to be seen, especially if on vacation or business travel. The doctor can be seen from the comfort and convenience of their home.
Quick prescriptions. Consumers would rather have an online video visit them than an in-office visit to obtain common primary care prescriptions.
Peace of mind. Rather than self-diagnosing or visiting a social forum for medical advice, users can obtain second opinions directly from board certified, licensed doctors.
I know I am definitely more at peace, knowing I have a doctor on call everywhere I go, thanks to the Amwell app. I can rest a little easier knowing I can get right in contact with a doctor no matter where I go!
