2. Use your benies - from home!

If you show signs of being sick or have questions for a doctor, start with freshbenies before worrying, Googling or going to a germ-infested waiting room. Here's a few ways your benies can help - be sure to check your freshbenies App or Portal to see which of these services are included in your specific package...

• Telehealth - speak to a doctor 24/7 to evaluate your symptoms. While there’s no cure for Coronavirus, if you have any flu-like symptoms, contact Teladoc so a doctor can evaluate your risk and help with next steps when necessary.
• Behavioral Telehealth - get support for anxiety, stress or panic by visiting with a psychiatrist or therapist by video at a fraction of the cost of in-person visits. 
• Doctors Online – ask a doctor for personalized advice in an email conversation (instead of Googling) and get a response within 24 hours.
• Advocacy - reach out to your Advocate for help locating the best quality in-network doctors, urgent care centers or hospitals.
