Doctor On Demand

With the DOD app, you can have video calls with board-certified physicians, psychologists, and other practicing specialists right from home! They are rigorously screened, board certified, and practicing in your state. The app is covered by health insurance as well. While traditional MD and therapy appointments may require long wait times, the app lets you have a live video visit by a doctor from the comfort of your home, without waiting times, and at reasonable prices (the app itself is free and doesn't require subscription). Alas, the app is only available where state law permits, so you must check beforehand if DOD can be used in your state.
