The health care app connects patients that need emergency care to health care providers that same day. The app also can scan your insurance card and provide an estimate of how much you will pay for your visit.
“In health care, as we know, we kind of lag a little bit, but I think with this kind of system and app, it’s really in the palm of your hand,” Dr. Khoshnood Ahmad at Pediatric Urgent Care of North Texas in Frisco told NBC5 in May.
The app released in April after the initial six-month beta testing period and has major major strides in development and marketing.
