Before you travel next time, look into your medical insurance\u2019s telehealth options. The beauty of telemedicine is that you don\u2019t need to sit in a physical waiting room or pay high costs for an urgent care visit. As long as you have a suitable electronic device, you can take advantage of telehealth from almost anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>There are many benefits to using telehealth while traveling. A telemedicine visit is generally cheaper than an in-person visit. Many telehealth providers have physicians available 24\/7, so it doesn\u2019t matter what time zone you\u2019re in or what time of day it is. Some physicians can even write scripts that can be filled at a pharmacy near you. Bonus: If you\u2019re in physical discomfort, you don\u2019t have to pile into a rental car or onto public transportation to see a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Every telemedicine provider is a little different and operates under different rules. Some can provide help internationally, but others can only operate in the United States. Make sure you check with your telehealth provider before traveling to see what services they provide while you\u2019re away.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"post\">RESOURCES<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"postSource\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/healthcare-provider\/telemedicine-benefits#benefits\">Telemedicine Benefits: 17 Advantages for Patients and Doctors (healthline.com)<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"postSource\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/treatment-tests-and-therapies\/benefits-of-telemedicine\">Benefits of Telemedicine | Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Everyone likes to think of vacation as a break from everything \u2013 work, regular life, responsibilities \u2013 but sometimes things happen, and you or a family member get sick.
