The new service is in its smartphone app and lets people get a diagnosis here in Arizona and a few other selected states.
Here's some examples of symptoms covered with the virtual care:
- Allergies (seasonal)
- Colds & coughs
- Ear aches
- Flu
- Minor injuries
- Sinus infections
- Skin conditions
- Sore throats
- Stomach upsets
- Women's services like UTIs & yeast infections
An actual doctor will pop up on your smartphone, just as if you were video chatting someone, and will be available at all hours every day in a partnership with virtual care company Teladoc.
To get the app and start your virtual diagnosis, head over to CVS.com.
