How to Speak to an MD When Your PCP is Out of the Office

A primary care physician is your front-line defense against all the health issues life throws at you. Illness and injury are stressful enough as it is, and the journey is even worse when you have no PCP to turn to. Maybe you just moved, haven’t found a doctor you like, don’t have insurance, or your physician is out of the office.

Worse, the number of American adults without a PCP increased to about 25% in recent years. This has sadly forced nearly a quarter of American adults to either face illness alone or receive care with a hefty fee.

Being without a PCP can also leave more severe problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers undetected for years. And what’s concerning is that this happens much more than you’d think. According to the Mayo Clinic, as many as 25 million Americans have rare, undiagnosed diseases that routine doctor’s visits could prevent.

These facts, combined with the lingering COVID-19 crisis, are why it’s more important now than ever to have access to quality healthcare. With us, it’s never been easier to speak to an MD!

So whatever situation you find yourself in, the good news is that MyTeleBenefit is here to help when you don’t have a PCP. Today we’ll cover some benefits of our programs so you can best protect your health moving forward.


Protect Yourself
Our telemedicine plan protects you and your loved ones while skipping waiting rooms and inconvenient in-person appointments. It’s purchased as a single product and is a popular option for a few reasons:

  • Its low monthly costs of only $11.95 (plus a $7.95 activation fee) make primary care more accessible than ever.
  • It gives you access to a board-certified M.D. 24 hours/day, 365 days a year, for non-emergency medical issues.
  • Talk and video consultations make treatment a cinch.
  • Our doctors can prescribe non-narcotic medications to get you better and faster.


Protect Your Pets
Checking up on your furry friends is crucial even if you're feeling fine. Our veterinary telehealth package is similar to our telehealth package, just applied to your pet(s):

  • It costs $10.95 per month plus a one-time $7.95 activation fee.
  • It gives you access to a veterinary telehealth specialist 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, via talk, chat, or message.
  • It gives you free, unlimited consultations.

Remember that this package is also purchased as a single product and is available for single or multiple pets. It’s also for non-emergency medical issues.


Combine Care
You also have the option to combine Telemedicine and Veterinary Telehealth for Pets. This gives you the best of both options at only $16.95 per month plus a one-time $7.95 activation fee.
