The age of telemedicine is here, and it isn’t going anywhere. The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the realization that in-person health visits are not always the most efficient use of our time, money, and resources. Plus, telemedicine allows for safe social distancing and brings a whole new meaning to the word ‘convenience’.

You quickly realize how much time and effort you spend going to an urgent care clinic after you experience the ease of telemedicine. No more arranging for special childcare or coverage at work. No more 15, 30, or 45 minute drives to the nearest clinic. No more sitting for what feels like an eternity in a waiting room, wincing as people cough and sneeze around you. With telemedicine, you have 24/7/365 access to real doctors, and you never have to leave the house. Healthcare doesn’t get more convenient than that.

Have you ever held off on going to the doctor for a sinus infection or seasonal allergy relief simply because you didn’t want to pay the copay just to get a medication script? Insurance plans vary widely, and many people face significant out-of-pocket expenses that prevent them from getting the care they need. Through Loman-Ray’s telemedicine plans, HealthiestYou doctors can diagnose and provide a treatment plan for about 80% of typical doctors visit. As an individual or a family, that can really help you save a lot of money in copays. As an employer, that can save you from some serious health claims costs.
