Accepted Answer

Usually not: Insurance is not involved in HealthTap PRIME, although commercial insurance policies may improve to cover simple online consultations in the future, as more and more doctors use new technology to care for patients.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Must have insurance: E.R. Care and hospital care is so expensive in the U.S. That only the wealthy can afford it without insurance. Many people go bankrupt or nearly bankrupt if they have a significant illness with a prolonged (>2 weeks) hospital stay, because the hundreds of thousands of dollars is paid by themselves. When the money runs out, patients can get medicaid-type (medical in california) health "insurance".
