What is Occupational Medicine?

Occupational Medicine focuses on treating or diagnosing workplace related injuries in patients. It is a sub-specialty of Preventive Medicine that focuses on making sure workers are healthy, happy, and safe in their workplace. 

Your UBERDOC will be able to meet with you when and wherever you need it! So, if your injuries prevent you from being able to make it into a Doctor’s office, they are happy to meet with you via telehealth or telemedicine services. Once you meet with your doctor, they provide a referral for you to get an x-ray, lab work, or other physical test done with specific medical equipment. When this happens, you can choose where you go for your procedure, even if you choose to take your referral to a different Doctor. 

Diagnostic medical imaging procedures can be extremely expensive. If you have insurance, but have not met your deductible, you are responsible for a large portion of the charge. If you don’t have insurance, the cost of the procedure can be overwhelming. In addition, you will pay a separate fee for the radiologist who reads your exam.

UBERDOC was designed by physicians to give patients a better option—providing easier, more affordable diagnostic medical imaging and care. When you schedule through UBERDOC, you will be quoted a firm price for your exam. In most cases, it will save you upwards of 60% of the price you would pay elsewhere—a significant savings, even compared to the out of pocket cost you would have paid through your insurance company. It will include the radiologists’ fee—no surprise bills in the mail after your procedure. And, in most cases, you can use your Health Savings Account to pay for it.

A dedicated Patient Concierge will help you get scheduled at a location that is convenient for you and has the right equipment for the exam your doctor ordered. Your exam will be read (or oversight provided) by a board-certified radiologist, who will provide a report to your referring physician.
