can you use insurance to cover the healthtap membership fee?

Can ask your insurer: There are thousands of different insurance plans. A patient can call his plan to ask about coverage and reimbursement of expenses for HealthTap's premium services.

HealthTap is at the forefront of virtual medicine, and the insurers are just beginning to think about paying for virtual medicine.

Question 4

i'm starting gym membership, how do i begin to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Ask to work: With gym instructors or work with a trainer, so that you learn how to use equipment effectively and safely. To lose weight combine cardio workout with weight training. Good luck.

Question 5

im 16 and haven't worked out in a couple months. what exercises should i do to keep healthy? cardio or weight lifting? i have a gym membership.

Accepted Answer

Your history: Breathing, pain, and heart pounding issues.  Better get cleared by your doc before you work out.  Cross training is best, some cardio ; some aerobic after being cleared.  Your medications suggest that you are a bit anxious.  Stretching, yoga, and my favorite qigong, can make for a balanced program.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

help, what ways can one improve health and fitness without signing up for gym membership?

Accepted Answer

Running!: Running is the perfect exercise in many ways; it is an excellent cardiovascular activity, and also has wonderful mental benefits. Many other activities can also be done without a gym membership: cycling (if you could buy a bike) and swimming (if you live near a warm ocean or have a pool in your backyard or school). Even regular, brisk walking is an excellent and easy way to boost health ; fitness.

Question 7

just got a gym membership and its open 24hrs  when is the best time to workout i heard nights is when u lose more calories?

Accepted Answer

Does not matter: Generally when it comes to exercise what is the most important is to keep a regular workout schedule. Time of the day does not influence the amount of calories you burn which depends on activity type and intensity of the work out. If you are a night owl you will find gym less crowded in night. But start your routine when ever you can good luck.

Question 8

why do i often times not get responses to what should be very simple questions for doctors. was considering perhaps if i started the paid membership then figured healthtap has revealed to me to avoid doing so by leaving questions unanswered?

Accepted Answer

: You are posting your questions on the free portion of the website where the physicians and dentists answer questions as a courtesy, without compensation. There is no guarantee your question will be seen by anyone wishing to answer it, let alone that it would be answered at all. The site does not leave your questions unanswered. It is your prerogative to join the paid service of the site.

Question 9

do i need a membership to request a prescription for antibiotics on this site?

Accepted Answer

Try our other forum: Try HealthTap PRIME, one of our premium services. On PRIME, doctors see and treat you via smartphone, tablet, or laptop. You can send photos or test results during the consultation. PRIME can be accessed from anywhere, and patients just have a monthly subscription fee. The fee is the same, REGARDLESS of whether or not the doctor thinks you should get a prescription without an in-person exam.

Question 10

if i join the prime membership at $99 month can i get just one pcp, that will be able to take care of me, consults rx's? i cant seem to get 1 good md!

Accepted Answer

Cannot choose a Dr.: HealthTap PRIME began this summer (2014), and is a Primary Care service. A patient is connected with the first available doctor, and different doctors are online at various times. Patients do NOT select a particular doctor. A patient using PRIME has a one-on-one visit with the doctor via smartphone, a tablet, or a computer, and he can show the doctor pictures or test results.
