 The normal $40 fee-per-virtual visit will be
waived for the foreseeable future. New users can download the free
MemorialNow app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store or by
visiting MemorialNow.com and following written instructions.
The service is open to any patient regardless of insurance status or
whether the patient already uses a Memorial Health System doctor,
nurse practitioner or physician assistant.
Jay Roszhart, president of the Memorial Health System ambulatory
group, said offering free virtual visits will support community
efforts to promote social distancing to help curb the spread of
COVID-19.

“People in need of treatment for minor illnesses and
injuries can avoid a trip to the clinic and access quick, reliable
care without leaving home,” Roszhart said.
MemorialNow is accessible 24 hours a day, including holidays, and is
staffed by Memorial nurse practitioners.
MemorialNow is a convenient and effective way to treat non-emergency
illnesses such as a cold, flu-like symptoms, sore throat, fever and
skin rashes. If a prescription is needed, free delivery is available
from select pharmacies. Providers are able to send prescriptions to
any local pharmacy.
