Why Telemedicine Can Save You Time & Money
At PhysicianOne Urgent Care, we’re always looking for ways to offer convenient healthcare services to our patients. That’s why we have urgent care centers located across New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts that are open every day of the year. And that’s also why we’ve expanded our services to offer telemedicine, allowing our patients to receive top-quality healthcare from the comfort of home. After all, who wants to leave their cozy couch when they’re feeling under the weather? With telemedicine, you can save the time, effort, and money required of a typical visit to your doctor’s office.
Saving Time
With telemedicine, receiving medical care for aches and pains has never been easier! All you need is an Internet connection and a smartphone, tablet, or webcam-enabled computer. Our telemedicine services are available every day of the week, from early in the morning to late in the evening, to accommodate your schedule. Best of all, most patients can be seen within 15 minutes of booking the Virtual Visit.
Visiting the doctor can sometimes be a logistical nightmare—you may have to coordinate childcare for your children or try to fit in the visit between work meetings. With telemedicine, you don’t have to worry about any of that. You can simply book the visit for the time that works with your schedule and talk to us right from home, easy as that.
Saving Money
How does telemedicine save money? It’s simple: You can receive the healthcare services you need as quickly as possible so that you can start feeling better sooner. This may reduce the amount of time you’re out of work with an illness. What’s more, most health insurance plans now cover telemedicine and PhysicianOne Urgent Care can bill your insurance carrier directly for this service.
And for busy individuals who may have had to take off work or needed someone to watch their children to visit their doctor, telemedicine is also a money-saver. It’s a win/win for almost everyone!
Virtual Visits With PhysicianOne Urgent Care
A Virtual Visit with PhysicianOne Urgent Care starts by booking an appointment online. You’ll be directed to a page where you will choose an appointment time, briefly describe your symptoms, and fill out your personal information and health insurance details (if necessary). After your appointment is booked, you’ll be sent a link to a secure videoconferencing platform for the Virtual Visit.
During the telemedicine visit, you’ll speak face-to-face with one of our highly experienced providers who will learn more about your symptoms and their severity in order to recommend the appropriate treatment plan. Certain instances may require coming to one of our urgent care centers for testing or follow-up care. If so, your provider will direct you to your closest PhysicianOne Urgent Care location where you can receive the medical attention you need in a timely manner.
