FYI, I just received this Information from my insurance plan. (Anthem Blue Cross) and may give it a try since my doctor of 20+ years has retired, and
the one I visited a few months ago as a possible replacement is leaving San Diego, leaving me wthout a primary care MD.
Details: go to www.LiveHealthOnline.com
No appointment required
Sign up and log in to talk w/MD within minutes
Doctors can answer questions, make a diagnosis and may prescribe basic medications
Available 7 am- 11 pm 7 days/wk
Private, secure, you can choose board certified Dr.
Pay standard co-pay (for Anthem Blue Cross members)
Approx. $49 for others*
*The newsletter says it would also work with non-members for a fee, avg. is $49 acc to the article.
Maybe this form of "telemedicine" could help those SOB who want to confer with an MD over an internet connection vs. driving back to US for
non-emergency medical advice?
Edit: just noticed this:
As long as you are located in the state where the doctor is licensed to practice, you can receive online care in any state in which the LiveHealth
Online communication tool is available to doctors.
CA is an option, but not sure what they would say if you tell them you are in MX...
