Patients can download the health system’s app — called Saint Luke’s 24/7 — and complete a few questions about their choice of provider, medical history and purpose of the visit. Fifteen minutes later, they’re connected with a physician or provider who can provide diagnoses and, if necessary, a prescription.
The app is backed by Sunrise, Fla.-based MDLive, a telemedicine company, and can only be used for non-emergency services. The price of a virtual visit varies, but is usually around $49.
