Health, Wealth, and Happiness – There’s a Connection!

/0 Comments/in /by

Your money and your wellbeing could be inextricably linked, according to studies from the CDC, which reveal that 4/5 of people with chronic illness have their condition caused or severely exacerbated by stress – and that ¾ of healthcare costs are due to chronic illness. Some of the signs of stress related illness include:

  • Headaches / migraines
  • Stomach trouble / IBS / ulcers
  • Shoulder, back, and neck pain
  • Dental issues (tooth grinding and clenching, bruxism)
  • Sleeplessness, insomnia, and fatigue

Most people cite the following in all or part as contributing to their stress levels:

  • Issues with finances (including medical bills and student debt)
  • Issues at work (including wages and / or scheduling)
  • Issues at school (including worries over tuition and bullying)
  • Issues at home (including family, kids, spouses, and pets)

If your everyday level of anxiety is high, it could be contributing to how you feel physically. For many people, just a little more financial security can make a big change in how they feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. Since health and wealth are connected, improving one can improve the other.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again, and you’ve got travel plans to make, bags to pack, last minute work obligations, and more to do – Being sick just isn’t an option.

Of course, that’s when you always get sick and so does everyone else. The ERs start to overflow, the doctors’ offices are packed and have no appointments open, and you can’t stand the thought of having to take four days to lie in bed eating chicken soup and hoping for a turn for the better.

The good news is, you don’t have to tough it out or wait helplessly for a doctor’s appointment. Telemedicine is changing the way people can receive routine care for things like colds, the flu, bronchitis, laryngitis, and more. 92% of conditions people are normally seen for a doctor in this office are things which can be diagnosed, treatment recommended, and even prescriptions write for over a Telemedicine consult.

How does Telemedicine Work?

If you have the telemedicine benefit from 2BenefitU, it’s incredibly easy to get appropriate medical care via a quick phone or video call.  You simply pick up the phone and speak to a board-certified physician who can diagnose many common conditions right over the phone. They will listen to you, ask questions, consult with specialists if needed, and then prescribe basic (non-controlled) medications, and advise you on at-home care for yourself or your child.

If the presenting condition is determined to be serious, they’ll also let you know if it’s time to go to the doctor, an urgent care location or ER. You don’t have to suffer or watch a family member suffer. You don’t have to take time off from work or school to travel to a doctor or medical care center and wait for hours. You don’t even have to leave your couch or your desk – just pick up a phone.

Telemedicine is Ideal for the Whole Family

The Telemedicine option offers you an easy, effective way to get a quick, effective diagnosis and treatment without having to trade off valuable work time and family obligations. You’ll most likely be feeling better in next to no time, and able to resume making your plans to spend time with friends and family over the holidays.

Telemedicine covers the whole family, so one monthly subscription price (plans start at $15.95 per month) will ensure you have instant medical consultations available whenever you need them.
