Don't let your busy life stop you or your family from being healthy. I'm horrible with that; I keep saying I'll go soon but I never make the appointment. Summer is here now, and we are even busier with camps, summer vacations, and down to one vehicle. So finding the time is RIDULOUS! Also who has the time to go the doctor's office, fight through traffic, find parking and then sit in an office for who knows how long. I don't have the time to physically go to the doctors, so that is where Amwell (nation’s largest telehealth company) comes in for busy families. You can connect with board-certified, licensed doctors for immediate and live, online visits—day or night, on either mobile or desktop. Amazing, right!
Reasons to Use Amwell:
- Lower Cost- You can talk to a doctor for $59 for Urgent Care (we have a code below for 50% off the first visit). Also $95 for Online Therapy, $200 for a Psychiatry Visit
- Accessibility-Doctors are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This works wonderfully for people who lack transportation, are too sick to drive or just don't have the time to go to the office.
- Convenience- Just sign in and have your visit. This is perfect even if you are traveling and out of the area, no need to figure out where the urgent care is while traveling just call Amwell on your phone. The doctor can be seen from the comfort and convenience of your own home, no need to get out of your bed! You don't have to gather up all the kids in the car either- stay home!
- Quick prescriptions-Amwell doctor can do this too, easy peasy and fill out where you want the prescription sent.
- Safe & Secure-All your information is kept safe and secure.
I was having this irritating dry skin on my heel that stung and wouldn't go away. So I decided I didn't want to deal with this annoying issue anymore, so I got on my laptop and signed into Amwell.
Let them know what I wanted to talk to them about- my rash on my heel.
Attached a photo of the rash- super easy to do!
Picked my insurance info and made my payment. This process took less than 10 minutes. I checked my setting and waited for the next available doctor. When the doctor was ready, we video chatted, he gave me some advice and sent in an anti-itch prescription for me to pick up at my local Target store. WOW and that took less than 15 minutes. This saved me time plus I was able to do it on my own time.
So next time rather than looking up online, asking in a forum, or self-diagnosing yourself CALL AMWELL and talk to a board certified licensed doctor.

I have enjoyed checking out your blog and getting to know you guys. Keep on writing your product reviews as they're really informative and helpful. Take care, Kelli M. Riebesehl
There are so many ways that Amwell makes life easier! This is awesome and it's great that we now have this kind of service. No more long lines!
I find this very convenient. It can be a pain waiting for your turn at the doctor's office, especially if the doctor does not come on time. :(
I hate when I drag myself out of the bed (because I'm sick) to go to the doctor and then I wait for an hour and they look at me, write a prescription charge me $100 and then it's over. Almost ever year I get some sort of respitory infection be cause of my allergies, I get a z-pack and bam. It's be great to not have to go anywhere for this.
This seems to be a very cool app! Unfortunately I can´t use it here in Europe, but my sister in the US, I will recommend it to her
From years of traveling and all the walking, I have really hard skin on my ankles - I've tried a few different things but I didn't know of Amwell until now. Thanks for this I'm going to look into it :D
Sounds like a quick and easy way to get basic health needs addressed. How do they handle the insurance part or is this out of pocket payments?
Thank you for the amazing suggestion. I love informative articles like these.
It can be a helpful alternative for folks on the road who can't visit their GP and have a minor ailment they want addressed. Telehealth sounds like the wave of the future and people could still choose an option that works for them.
It is incredible ho technology has also permeated to the medical field. This is great service nothing like to be able to talk with a doctor even if it is online. Thanks for sharing as I did not know anything about this service.
I've seen something similar to this! I really do think it would save a lot of time, for sure. Plus, not having to go sit in a waiting room and catch something else while you're waiting to see what the first issue is is a big plus, too!
I have used Amwell before and been very happy with them. I think for things you don't really need to go into an office for, they are amazing.
This is so useful, an app like this can make you save a lot time and money. I was not even aware of Amwell until I read this post. The article is so well written, that it explains all the usefulness of it. Thanks!
