These days, most travelers consult a doctor for anti-malarials.
(To help prevent contraction in high-risk areas – like Africa, Asia and South America).
But travel clinics often leave you stuck with:
Many travelers can’t even locate a travel clinic either – due to limited access.
This allows you to “skip the line” and connect with a doctor from anywhere – for a consultation on your own time & schedule.
No need to go anywhere, you can do it right from home.
Plus, you don’t have to search around for a doctor. That’s the beauty of remote telehealth.
–
When prescribed – a telehealth company will ship medication to your doorstep.
There’s no risk of stockouts or unavailability.
Travelers love this, because it removes that pesky “doubt & uncertainty” in the back of your mind – wondering if you’ll get the meds you need.
It’s 2023, you shouldn’t have to worry about that.
The downside – you need to do this further in-advance, before you leave.
We recommend an online consultation at least 1 week before you depart.
–
Certain telehealth companies (like Runway Health) provide access to a doctor after your meds arrive too.
Have any questions? Not sure about something?
A physician is available to chat with remotely – before, during, and after your travels.
Travel clinics & primary care won’t offer this.
–
With travel clinics & primary care… pricing is often uncertain.
This especially frustrates travelers – once they’re hit with a shockingly-high bill.
It’s another reason to use a telehealth provider – you get 100% transparent pricing.
The exact cost beforehand.
And since it’s done remotely, the prices are often lower – typically around $30-50 for a consultation.
