Question 2

Should I use KonnectMD on top of my health insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes!

2 out of 5 members use KonnectMD as a supplemental solution to get less expensive healthcare services. Avoiding visit fees and deductibles is a plus but did you know that avoiding claims on your health plan can help you lower your insurance premiums?

Health insurance works well for doing things like getting cancer treatment, it's not so good at helping you pay for a doctor when having a cold, allergies, burns, cuts, or COVID.

Question 3

Is KonnectMD appropriate for every situation?

Accepted Answer

No. Urgent Care, Primary Care, and Behavioral Health are designed to handle non-emergency medical and mental health conditions.

Urgent Care can often substitute for a doctor’s office, urgent care clinic, or emergency room visit for common, non-life-threatening conditions.

Primary Care provides care for non-urgent medical concerns and ongoing care for conditions like asthma, diabetes, and heart disease.

Talk therapy provides care for hundreds of non-emergency concerns like anxiety, life changes, divorce, and depression. However, if you are experiencing an emergency or crisis, need ADHD stimulant medication, or have any condition that hinders normal day-to-day activities, we suggest visiting an emergency department.

You should not use KonnectMD if experiencing a medical or behavioral health emergency. In the case of a life-threatening emergency or crisis, dial 911 immediately.

Question 4

Can my family use KonnectMD?
