Family Covered Launches Unlimited Use Virtual Doctor Service

    NEWPORT BEACH, CA, April 29, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Family Covered(TM), a new technology company focused on modernizing the health care industry, has become the first provider to offer a low-cost, unlimited-use telehealth service to consumers. For only $29.95 per month, Family Covered customers get unlimited, 24/7/365 access to local, US board-certified physicians via telephone, iPhone & Android mobile devices and the Web. Another first for the industry is that membership in Family Covered not only extends to the customer that enrolled, but to his or her entire family. And through its partnerships with leading health care product and service providers, Family Covered offers its members discounts on prescription medication, vision, dental, labs & imaging, chiropractic and alternative care.

"We're definitely shaking things up in the industry," says founder and CEO Philip Brandes. "By modeling Family Covered's offering and pricing structure after a more traditional insurance product, we can provide an affordable health care option to uninsured or underinsured individuals and their families ."

Unlike other telehealth providers which charge upwards of $40 or more per consultation, Family Covered costs less than $30 per month for unlimited use. Doctors are U.S. board-certified in internal medicine, pediatrics, or family medicine, and can diagnose a wide array of conditions including allergies, rashes, cold & flu, fever, sinus problems, eye & ear infections and many more. Membership in Family Covered also includes 24/7 access to a registered nurse hotline as well as a national network of mental health professionals to help identify and treat issues such as marital problems, alcohol and other drug dependency, depression, and other emotional concerns.
