American Well – Amwell App is Changing How We Stay Well
When it comes to seeing a doctor, house calls are rarely ever used anymore. Unless you have a ton of money and can afford your own on-call doctor, the odds are pretty decent that you are having to go to the office. That kind of stinks when you feel bad. The last thing you want to do is get dressed and head out for a ride. Fortunately there is a company that is changing how we stay healthy. The company is called American Well. They have an app called Amwell that provides access to live doctors, dietitians, psychiatrists and all kinds of other health care workers…all from the comfort of your own home.
Imagine a day when you never have to leave the comfort of your bed to see a doctor. All you need is a phone, the app and/or a computer. These doctors are available 24 hours a day and every day of the week to take care of things like prescriptions, minor illness, and countless other issues. What could be cooler than that?
Amwell is positioning itself to be “the Amazon of health care” and link to this article from the Wall Street Journal
Here are just a handful of things they cover:
- Bronchitis
Cough
Sinus infection
Sore throat
Urinary tract infection
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Fever
Pinkeye
Flu
Sprains and strains
Cold
Respiratory infection
Headache
Depression
Anxiety
Weight concerns
Smoking cessation
Like all doctor visits, Amwell sessions are HIPAA compliant and secure. You never have to worry about your privacy with Amwell and they are super at customer service. If you need anything, simply ask and they are more than willing to help you out. In fact, I like it better than going to a regular doctor. It saves time, money and even a ton of stress. There is something really nice about not having to go out when you feel bad that really appeals to me. I am sure you feel the same way.
There are a number of awesome reasons to sign up with Amwell. Of course we mentioned cost and that is a legitimate thing. A visit with a doctor can cost as little as $49 with American Well. That is a fraction of an in-office visit.
I have been given a special code just for my readers – Your first visit is just $1 when you use HEALTHY10
Another advantage is that you can do on your schedule and when you feel like it. They are available all the time and you have no worries about appointments, cancellations or the like. You simply sign on and ask for a doctor when you are ready. No muss, no fuss.
Many folks love it because you can get quick and easy prescription medicines. Nobody likes to go in to see a doctor just to get a medicine they already know they need. Then you pay double!
American Well is a great company and they have something truly special with Amwell. You should check them out the next time you are feeling bad and see what I mean!
