This video outlines various healthcare options, ranking them from the least to the most expensive.
- Telemedicine: This is the least expensive option, allowing remote consultations via phone or text for common conditions, typically costing less than $75.
- Convenience Care: Offered by clinics in retail stores like Walgreens & CVS, providing quick, in-person care without appointments for uncomplicated medical needs.
- Doctor’s Visits: Suitable for conditions that require more thorough examination or specialist evaluation, especially when in-depth analysis is needed.
- Urgent Care: For immediate but non-life-threatening medical issues, often available after regular hours, serving as a bridge between primary care and emergency room services.
- Emergency Room (ER): The most expensive option, intended for life-threatening situations, should be used only when absolutely necessary to avoid high costs for non-emergency care.
