When you can't reach your primary care physician, or when
it is late at night and the emergency room is too costly, members can
call Phone-A-Doc. This national network of board certified
primary care physicians was developed as a tool to alleviate
the cost and frustration when circumstances call for an alternative.
Members can access a physician and within 3 hours a doctor can diagnose
the problem and, if necessary, phone in a prescription to the member's
pharmacy of choice. Phone-A-Doc is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, and 365 days a year. All this, FREE. |
