Telehealth without insurance

[robertsmith23]

I don't have insurance, and I often wonder if it's worth using telehealth services like online consultations. Some promise super-low prices, but there are still a lot of "buts": prescriptions, tests, continuing treatment. Who has had experience using telemedicine services without insurance coverage - tell me in what situations did it really save you? And when did you realize that you still can't get by without insurance? And are there any platforms where you can go through the entire cycle of assistance without additional hidden costs?

I think telehealth is a cool alternative, but only for basic cases. When it comes to something more serious or chronic, without insurance you quickly hit a ceiling - I mean, you still have to pay like in the regular system.

I'm not a fan of medicine in general - especially American, with all this bureaucracy, expectations, insurance and paperwork. But this low cost telehealth no insurance service seems to have done what everyone promises, but almost no one delivers: really fast and contactless help. I just needed to get a prescription for a regular drug, but before that took two days and a lot of nerves. Here - everything is online, without videos and hassle. It turned out so calm and fast that I did not expect. You pay once, and everything is to the point. Just like an online store, only for health. And yes, it works not as a temporary crutch, but as a full-fledged alternative to a regular clinic.
