Don’t Put Off Treatment: Get Affordable Health Care in Frisco TX
The government’s attempts at fixing health care notwithstanding, it’s still difficult to find affordable health care in Frisco TX, and nationwide. A Gallup poll reveals that, after the Affordable Health Care Act was instated, one-third of Americans now delay seeing a doctor because of the cost. What’s worse, more people put off getting treated for serious conditions than for minor issues. What’s coming as an unpleasant surprise to many who thought getting on an insurance exchange would solve their health care woes is that out-of-pocket expenses are so high, they have to weigh getting medical care against other necessary costs such as paying rent and buying groceries. A recent analysis done by Avalere found that people on individual silver plans could pay up to $5,853 in out-of-pocket expenses, based on 2015 guidelines.
So, what’s a person to do if they can’t get affordable health care in Frisco TX? Technology has seemingly come to the rescue with mobile apps that are supposed to place the future of health care in the palm of your hand, according to PC Advisor. The problem with that apparent fix is that Becker’s Health IT and CIO Review says that only one percent of the 97,000 mobile medical apps available have been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration. With no authoritative reviews in place, it’s not necessarily a wise move to put your trust in a program you downloaded onto your smartphone. What they say about lawyers who represent themselves applies in a roundabout way here: attempting to be your own doctor with the assistance of an un-vetted app isn’t necessarily a smart move. Additionally, privacy issues need to be considered. A CNN Money article outlines how all your iPhone apps can be hacked all at once, meaning any information you feed into and store on your medical app could easily be pried open by a skilled hacker, and there are plenty of them out there.
7 Health is the better alternative to any exchange plans Affordable Health Care offers you, and it’s far better than using an app to be your own GP. For just $77/month, you’ll have 24/7 access to your personal doctor for emergencies and routine visits. Office visits and most office procedures and tests will only cost $7. You won’t see those prices or that level of personalized, quality care under traditional insurance or the exchanges. While other people wait weeks and months to get in to see a doctor and then may have to take time off from work for the appointment, you’ll have the advantage of making appointments that fit into your schedule, even if you call in for a same-day appointment. 7 Health is your solution for affordable health care in Frisco TX.
