“Our health care system is not perfect but sometimes it does work well. Thank you, @CareFirst for ‘Video Visits.’ An issue was addressed via video conference with a physician and by 8:20 AM I had picked up my prescription.”
Andrew P., CareFirst member
“Just used Video Visit – what a time saver and the doctor I saw was so helpful!”
Liz M, CareFirst member (via social media)
“We were on vacation and my son’s sniffles quickly turned into a sinus infection. We were able to use CareFirst Video Visit and connect with a doctor from our ski lodge, pick up a prescription from the local pharmacy, and get back on the slopes the next day.”
Mark R. CareFirst member
“I uploaded photos of the rash from my phone, spoke to a doctor and was able to get a prescription called into my local pharmacy. On top of that, it was less expensive than a specialist visit. Using CareFirst Video Visit was convenient and user-friendly. I never had to leave my home office and was back to working in less than an hour.”
Robert S, CareFirst member and associate
