TuGo Telemedicine
For Canadians
Powered by 1.800MD®
Convenient Care Anywhere™, when travelling within the US
If you aren't feeling well and would like to seek medical advice, but don't think a clinic or hospital visit is necessary, you can access our convenient, prompt, and comprehensive telemedicine service instead!
How TuGo Telemedicine works for our travel insurance customers
Not feeling well? Call TuGo toll-free at 1-866-419-9038, and provide:
- Your name
- Policy number
- Where you currently are in the US
- Phone number to be reached at
- If you'd like to communicate with the physician in a language other than English
TuGo's team immediately connects with 1.800MD's team to schedule your consultation. You'll be connected with a board-certified physician, with 15 to 20 years of medical expertise.
Within an hour, receive a recommended treatment; and if needed, a resulting prescription will be sent instantly to a pharmacy near you—all without leaving the comfort of your room, vacation rental, or RV!
Extra Perk! If you have a deductible on your policy, it won't apply to the call or the resulting prescription expenses.
