Javier is a Texas Tech Student that has had a runny nose and stomach ache. The weather
is very cold and Javier does not have his own vehicle to drive to Student Health Services.
Javier decides to access healthcare by a Virtual Visit in the comfort of his dorm.
Javier's AHP insurance plan includes a Virtual Visit option! It is called Teladoc.
Javier decides to access the Teladoc system through an app on his smart phone.
Javier spends a few minutes registering for the Teladoc service. Since Teladoc is
an in-network provider, Javier has to pay the $50 copayment in order to speak with
a doctor.
After waiting for just a few minutes, Javier is speaking with a health care professional
that will evaluate, diagnose and treat him from a distance! Javier loves technology!
Javier's doctor decides to prescribe him an antibiotic. Javier asks the doctor to
send the prescription to the Student Health Services Pharmacy. Javier also requests
a generic drug in order to save more money. The next morning, Javier has a friend
take him to the Student Health Pharmacy. Since Javier requested a generic drug, his
copayment is only $15.
Javier is on his way to feeling better and will soon be ready to play soccer again!
