7. HealthTap

Ever wish you had primary doctors on speed dial instead of waiting a day or two for their office to get back to you? With HealthTap, you have access to 90,000 licensed physicians via video chats or text messages.

The price for members is $44 for each general medical appointment, while non-members will have to pay $129. Compared to other services on the market, this is one of the most affordable telemedicine services.

With HealthTap, you can order labs and treat a wide range of general health issues—including managing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure—in both urgent and primary care.

While accounts are technically free, membership perks start at $15 per month but really pay off with discounts on a virtual session that cut costs by 50% or more.

Those without membership still get access to an automated symptom checker, and physicians respond within 24 hours to anonymous medical questions.
