Answer: Math

Here’s why:

Clinics and hospitals provide health services that are essential to any decent healthcare plan. 

But a trip to the clinic involves time stuck in traffic, waiting in line, bureaucracy and paperwork, all of which can add up to hours before you even get to see a doctor. And then that doctor - who has probably never seen you before - will most likely send you for some tests or to see a specialist, which means even more waiting. 

In the meantime, you’re missing out on work or precious free time to be with family. 

So when you wake up in the morning with a fever or an upset stomach, the first thing you’re likely to do is make the following calculation:

Losing half a day or more seeking care at the clinic 

VS

"Toughing it out" on the job or at home

And for those without coverage, let’s add another variable to that equation: The cost of seeking care.

That’s why it’s no wonder that so many people - even those with coverage - end up delaying seeking care. Every day millions of people suffer through the day and hope their symptoms will just go away (and aren’t, in fact, a sign of something serious). And that’s just not a recipe for better health.  

With Antara Health, there’s a better way.

Not only do you have access to a platform that provides you unlimited access to most of the care you need, but you have unlimited access to a platform that will coordinate all of the care you need if Antara's world-class clinical team can not resolve your issues virtually. Health Navigation service brings care to you, no matter where you are. 

Every Antara member gets assigned a Health Navigator - a trained health professional reachable by phone, SMS, Whatsapp or through the Antara app. 

So when you wake up not feeling well, instead of doing fast math, as an Antara Member, you can easily reach your Health Navigator, who can then:

If you're referred to Antara's Virtual Care doctors, they can then: 

Most importantly, your Health Navigator has extensive experience and training and also will know you personally and your patient history. So if you need an in-person visit, she can prep the health provider for your arrival and even arrange emergency transport if needed. 

And that’s why with Antara, you’ll never have to worry that putting off care means risking ignoring something serious.
