Remember these important steps to stop the spread of COVID-19, as recommended

by the CDC*

Telemedicine/Telehealth/Virtual Care

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at

least 20 seconds.

Cover coughs and sneezes with a

tissue; follow with hand washing.

Practice social distancing – stay 6 feet away from

other people.

Wear a face mask if you are sick to

prevent spreading germs to others.

Use hand sanitizer when soap and water

are not available.

Don’t touch your eyes, nose

or mouth with unwashed hands.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched

surfaces daily.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVEREDHow to keep you and your family safe and healthy during this time.

Stay home if sick and utilize telemedicine instead of the doctor’s office.

Whether you are experiencing COVID-19 or Non-COVID-19 symptoms, consider using telemedicine as your first line of defense instead of seeking care from your physician’s office or urgent care.

Telemedicine doctors are working 24/7 to assure that your questions are answered and are sending necessary prescriptions to pharmacies. Any suspected virus cases are being reported to the public health department where patients are guided through the next steps for home care, in-person care and/or testing.

Relief Is On The Way

As the situation evolves, some insurance carriers are temporarily waiving the fee for telemedicine appointments and COVID-19 testing. In addition, some pharmacies are waiving delivery fees for prescriptions and other home essentials. Check with your telemedicine provider and pharmacy for details.

Increased Wait Times

Due to a high demand for healthcare nationwide, patients are experiencing longer than usual wait times – both at care sites and with their telemedicine provider. So, why not wait in the safety and comfort of your home rather than in a waiting room with strangers? Stay safe!
