Starting out
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
Think of your doctor as a guide for your journey. That’s why it’s important to speak with your doctor directly, no
matter why you are seeking care. Your doctor can listen to your concerns, provide answers, and explain your care
options. You don’t have to make these decisions alone. To prepare for your journey, find out what to expect for
three of the most common healthcare journeys.
SIDE TRIPS
REMOTE CARE
You may be able to receive care without a face-to-face office visit. After asking about your specific
situation, your doctor may recommend:
-
Telehealth — Visiting with your doctor remotely by phone, chat, or videoconference.
-
Curbside or Drive-Through — Getting a test or preventive screening without leaving your
vehicle.
-
Pharmacy Delivery — Having necessary prescriptions delivered directly to your home.
-
Home Healthcare — Seeing a healthcare provider in your own home.
