Why you need a telehealth benefit.

Telehealth benefits are a growing trend that are projected to explode in the future. Think about all the applications and you'll start to see why this is becoming such a popular benefit:

• You live in a rural environment and don't have 24/7 access to a medical facility.
• You can't afford time off from work to see a doctor for a routine question.
• You're a mom with a sick child who really doesn't want to expose her child to all the germs in the pediatrician's office.
• You think you have the flu and you are too achy to drag yourself to the doctor's office.
• You're on vacation and you've developed a strange rash.

For all these reasons, and many more, consumers are realizing the advantages of using technology to manage their healthcare. A telehealth program today will offer you options for communicating with a physician this may include:

• A telephone consultation
• A video chat
• A mobile app
• Email or texts
• The ability to upload images of rashes or strange bumps

Studies are increasingly showing that using telehealth services saves consumers time and money. And, as our population grows more technologically savvy, utilization of telehealth is only projected to grow. Today, you can use your telehealth benefits for a wide variety of common or even chronic conditions including, but certainly not limited to:

• Allergies
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Sore throat
• Pink Eye
• Cold, flu & fever symptoms
• Urinary tract infections
• Behavioral health
• Prescription re-fills

But, I already have health insurance. Why do I need a telehealth program?

Depending on the type of coverage you have, a telehealth program can still potentially save you money and probably time as well. Consider the costs associated with your deductible, co-pays, co-insurance, not to mention the time it takes to travel, wait and see a doctor. The telehealth program offered by Fab 5 Benefits, for example, charges a low monthly fee and unlimited free doctor consultations.  Oh, and that low fee covers your whole family. 

Still on the fence? Go back and look at how much you've spent out-of-pocket on your family's medical care over the past several years. Then, consider the reasons for the doctor visits and the time you spent traveling and waiting to see the doctor - not to mention the convenience of "seeing" a doctor within minutes. You may be surprised at how it adds up.
