A member asked:

Is it possible for me to get a prescription without an appointment? i currently have no insurance and i'm sure i have strep throat at the moment.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Doctors differ in their willingness to prescribe antibiotics. If you have clear symptoms of strep then many doctors would send in a prescriptions after talking to you. You could try calling your doctors office or do a virtual appointment with a HealthTap doctor from your state.
