The Holidays are Too Busy for Illnesses!

The Holidays are Too Busy for Illnesses!

/0 Comments/in /by

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. Sign up with 2BenefitU, and get Telemedicine and many other bundled enhanced health and wellness benefits today!

Get Lab Tests Done at a Discount

/0 Comments/in /by

Lab tests are a large out-of-pocket expense for those without adequate insurance coverage – and some lab tests you feel you need may not be covered at all. When you need fast, accurate results being able to select the test you need and have it done quickly and without great expense can be a huge load off of your mind.

The 2BenefitU Direct Labs benefit is one of over 15 benefits you receive at the Plus level plan – and it could pay for your plan all by itself in savings over typical lab costs.

For example, it can be hard to get your doctor to order (or your insurance company to cover) tests like thyroid, fertility, allergies and vitamin levels. When you have the Direct Labs benefit, you can schedule these yourself and pay a low cost that is anywhere from 10-80% off of the typical costs for lab work.

Need liver function checked or an update on cholesterol levels? No problem. Just schedule your test to be done at one of over 1500 major clinical laboratories nationwide, and watch the savings mount up. You can find a location easily and order your test to be done online, or by phone, then all you have to do is show up and pay the discounted rate.

Your results are completely confidential, and you could receive them in as little as 24 hours for most tests. You deserve to know your numbers without worrying about whether or not you are “approved” for that information.

Lab tests can make all the difference when you suspect you may have a condition your doctor has missed. When you can’t get a lab ordered through your ordinary medical team, or feel like you’ve been blown off, you have the option and the right to get your results your own way – and armed with all the information you find, you can insist on a proper diagnosis.

Even if your doctor does order the tests you need, many patients get bogged down when the insurance company decides the reasons aren’t valid enough or the test isn’t covered. With a Direct labs benefit, you can take care of the issue yourself with a direct discount on the tests you need.

Join 2BenefitU as a Plus member today, and enjoy discounts on lab testing, medical devices, vision, hearing, and more. You’ll even have access to a Teladoc™ and Nurseline™ in case you need some advice. It’s the best benefits plan you could hope for, all for one low monthly cost of $19.95.
