Get fast answers to medical questions with LiveWell Telehealth
27 February 2024
Zurich’s LiveWell app now features Telehealth, a free 24/7 health service that connects Zurich life insurance customers to a licensed medical professional in minutes.
Customers can choose to get a no-cost consultation via text, phone or video call – allowing them to discuss their health issues in the way they’re most comfortable.
Zurich Australia gives customers added choice and convenience when it comes to seeking medical advice, particularly when it can be time-consuming and expensive to visit the GP.
LiveWell Telehealth is a quick and convenient option for people who have medical questions, or just need some reassurance about whether a physical trip to the GP or emergency department is required.
LiveWell Telehealth consultations are confidential and free of charge, with no Medicare details required. The doctors you consult with do not have access to MyGov health records.
Mental Health Review
LiveWell Telehealth offers a Mental Health Review if you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental illness. The review takes the form of a survey that’s reviewed by a psychiatrist, who sends a report and recommendations.
The service does not currently include a consultation with a psychiatrist, but it can be a good way to assess how you’re feeling and whether medical support may be required.
