I participated in the Amwell blog program as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation but all opinions are my own.
Last year my family was on a vacation out of state enjoying a fun week... and then my daughter got sick. Ugh! If you're a parent you will sympathize with the feeling of mild panic mixed with frustration.
When I noticed that my daughter wasn't feeling well I began assessing her symptoms and then turned to the only place I could for answers at that moment... an Internet search. Bad idea! Immediately all sorts of terrible possibilities were on the screen right in front of me. Does she have thrush? Does she have the flu? Is it something far worse? What medicine can I give a two year old to help with the symptoms?
I so wish I had the Amwell app at that moment! Instead of helplessly searching lists of symptoms and possible causes on the internet, it's far better to be able to speak with an actual medical professional to get advice from wherever you are and at any time of the day or night. That's why I wanted you to know about the Amwell app and have the chance to try it for free when the need arises.

So... What is Amwell?
American Well (Amwell) is the nation’s largest telehealth company, connecting users with board certified, licensed doctors for immediate and live, online visits – day or night, on either mobile or desktop. Some general conditions doctors encounter include: minor illnesses and injuries, general health and wellness concerns, prescription refills, and chronic condition management. Amwell employs primary care and specialist physicians, as well as licensed behavioral therapists and registered dietitians, to meet patients’ health and wellness needs. Amwell doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are dedicated to keeping you healthy – all from the comfort of your home.
Just choose the type of visit you are looking for and select a provider. Depending on the issue you have, the doctor can diagnose, suggest follow up, and prescribe (when appropriate) medication.
Amwell takes your privacy very seriously. Your visit with the doctor is secure and HIPAA compliant.
Amwell is accepted by major insurers, with more added every day. Enter your health insurance information for a low cost visit. Amwell doctor visits are now available in 46 states.
Why We Love Amwell
Lower cost - Consumers expect online visits to be cost-savers; with in-office visits costing, on average, $82 for the first-time patients according to the Healthcare Blue Book, Amwell offers a $49 physician visit – savings of $33. Great option for students in college looking for cost-effective healthcare or those between jobs without insurance.
Accessibility - After hours, on weekends and in the middle of the night (24/7/365) availability. Great for those who don’t have transportation or when you don’t feel well enough to drive and those who are newly relocated and don’t have providers yet.
Convenience - Consumers looking for a faster appointment. Now they don’t need to schedule an appointment nor do they need to wait to be seen, especially if on vacation or business travel. The doctor can be seen from the comfort and convenience of their home.
Quick prescriptions - Consumers would rather have an online video visit them than an in-office visit to obtain common primary care prescriptions.
Peace of mind - Rather than self-diagnosing or visiting a social forum for medical advice, users can obtain second opinions directly from board certified, licensed doctors.
