Earlier this year, I gave notice at my “regular” full-time job, and with that, I said good-bye to company health benefits. (One of these days, I’ll do a full post on my new career path, but in the meantime…) Before I left, I did research to see what my options were in terms of health care benefits, because no way was I going to go without. I found a solid and affordable option with a freelancers’ union, but there is one option I didn’t know about … Amwell Healthcare, and the whole service is both kind of amazing and very 2016. It’s one of those things that highlights the advancement of technology, and how far we’ve really come, to the nth degree.
I partnered with Momtrends to chat with you about Amwell, and I could have chosen topics like the benefits of staying hydrated or healthy snacks to pack for your kids whilst on vacation, both topics that are rooted in the medical field, but when I saw one of the options for my post was to have an actual televisit with a real, live Board-certified Amwell doctor, I went that route instead.
Because I was curious on how it all worked.
And mostly … was it as good as a real, in-the-office visit with a doctor?
In short, yes. …
