You know what my insurance company is encouraging people to do?
Use this "call a doctor" service for $0 copay, if you have a sudden non-emergency reason to see the doctor like the cold or the flu.
It turns out it's great!
The other week I got something that's going around the city, like a sniffling that settled a bit in my sinus and my chest but I was successfully fighting off, and because I had to call in sick for two days at the resthome, the nurse asked me to go get a note from the doctor to bring in the next time I work to show that I was truly sick.
It was great, I just registered over the telephone, the doctor called me back, then we debriefed without me having to leave my house (looked like I was over it, but I should see my GP in three days if it doesn't improve by then).
Then, she sent a doctor's note to my in-website mailbox, that I was able to print out for my nurse.
I didn't have to leave my house, and I didn't have to pay $20 to see a doctor.
What's not to like?
Honestly, phone consultation of a doctor just makes sense, for situations like mine.
And it probably saves the insurance company a buttload of money.
