It’s happened to all of us before. Life is going along at its normal fast-track pace when all of a sudden you get sick. The problem is, who has the energy (and patience) to drag two kids to the doctor’s office with them?
As much as I love the thought of enduring wrangling the kids as they attempt to put their mouth on every possible surface at the doctor’s office, I would much rather just stay home. The good news is that now you really can visit a doctor in the comfort of your own home!
Instead of having to worry about trying to make an appointment, find childcare (or worse, take them with you), and picking up a prescription, you can use your phone, tablet, or computer and use the Amwell app or website to talk face-to-face with a physician.
What is Amwell you ask? visit the website is the nation’s largest telehealth company which connects users with board-certified, licensed doctors, dietitians and psychologists for live, online visits. All from the privacy of your own home. They employ primary care, specialist physicians, licensed behavioral therapists, and registered dietitians — all there to address patients’ health and wellness needs. What is even better is if you need a prescription or prescription refill they can handle that too.
Even better than being able to see a doctor while sitting in bed (in my pajamas!) is that you can actually choose the doctor in the specialty that you want to visit. Amwell even offers the ability to schedule appointments based on your schedule — not anyone else’s.
Plus, the website is amazingly easy to use too. All you have to do is visit the website, and either create an account or log into your account.
From there you have the opportunity to view the doctors that are online or you can choose from a variety of specialties. For example, if I am the one who is sick I can visit with a primary care doctor. However, if it is my children who are sick I am able to visit with a pediatric specialist.
Plus, Amwell has a health record function where you can keep track of some of your health information as well as track things such as weight, medications, and other pertinent information.
Additionally, Amwell visits are accepted by many major health insurances. Even if you don’t have medical insurance, you can still use Amwell without having to pay huge out-of-pocket costs. This means that you don’t have to worry about anything but getting better.
