Heal -- On-demand doctor house calls
For Trio HMO members, Heal lets you see a doctor at a time and place that’s best for you – your home, office, or even your hotel. The first visit is $0; subsequent visits are your $15 doctor office visit copay. If a doctor prescribes medication during the visit, you can have it delivered to you with no delivery charge. You’ll just pay your standard drug copay.
To schedule your doctor visit, go to the Heal website, call Heal at (844) 644-4325, or download the app to your smartphone.
