** This app is not for emergencies or rescue. If you are in a medical emergency or need to be relocated due to disaster conditions, please dial 911. **
If you have been affected by a disaster, you’re not alone. For selected events and states, American Well has brought together doctors and/or therapists that can provide visits at no charge, for you and your family.
If you have access to a smartphone, tablet or computer with Internet access, you can have a telemedicine, medical visit and get prescriptions when necessary. We’re here for you, with 24/7 doctor visits and scheduled therapy visits available.
Telemedicine can be an extremely useful option as the first step of care in disasters. In the event of a natural disaster, having a visit online may be the safest, most convenient and affordable option. This app can be used for a variety of natural disasters including, but not limited to:
• Hurricanes
• Tornadoes
• Earthquakes
• Wildfires
• Mudslides
• Other dangerous weather/storms
If you are currently in need of help or relief in a disaster that is not on this list, please email support@americanwell.com to request help.
