Those feeling under the weather and wondering if their flu-like symptoms could be related to coronavirus can now be examined by a doctor from the privacy of their homes at no cost, Memorial Healthcare System announced on Thursday.
MemorialDocNow, the online application from Memorial Healthcare System, doesn’t require insurance and the free telehealth offer is available through March 31.
MemorialDocNow physicians can diagnose, write prescriptions as needed, and are available 24/7. To avoid the service’s usual $59 charge, users should enter “MemorialCares” when prompted for a coupon code.
To access MemorialDocNow from a computer, visit www.memorialdocnow.com. From a mobile phone, download the app in the Apple or Google Play store.
