How we help, start to finish

“ Response to my request for a “visit” was quick and my issue was resolved with the doctor quickly. Prescription was sent to my pharmacy with no problems, even in my tiny remote town. Received follow up instructions online that I could print, including payment receipt. So convenient not missing work or driving far to the doctor for a simple issue. Great service for a reasonable price. – Amy, Minnesota ” Amy was sick in bed on Saturday and needed to see a doctor. Rather than waiting till Monday, when her doctor could see her, or driving to an urgent care center and paying a high co-pay, she called Health Advocate and in minutes, was set up with a board-certified medical provider for an online WebXam™. She then received a diagnosis and follow up instructions online, as well as a notice from her pharmacy that her prescription was ready for pick up.
