A few months ago, I talked to you about a new service called BaptistMD 24/7 that can quickly and virtually put you in touch with a board-certified physician any time, no matter where you are. The service is open to Baptist team members and their dependents with Baptist health insurance. Now, I’m excited to announce that we have created a BaptistMD app to make it even easier to access the care you need.
The app is just one of several ways you can use BaptistMD 24/7 to see and speak to a board-certified physician. You can also talk to a doctor by phone or on baptistmd.com. It’s a great way for you and your family to get care after hours and on weekends. Best of all, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the service is available at absolutely no cost to you.
This service is not intended to replace your primary care physician. We want to offer you a convenient option for care when you can’t go to your doctor’s office, whether it’s after hours or on weekends, or if you’re out of town. It’s also a great option for your kids, spouse or other health care dependents. As a parent, I know what it’s like to have a sick child at home at midnight and not know what to do. Now, you have round-the-clock access to a health care expert who can listen to your concerns, prescribe medications and recommend next steps. BaptistMD 24/7 is as invaluable as you are.
I encourage you to register for BaptistMD 24/7 today through the app (which you can download from the App Store or Google Play) or at baptistmd.com. Several team members have had great experiences with BaptistMD 24/7, and I’m sure it can help you, too.
