Have a nonurgent question? You can message your team any time via the COMMpanion app or website and get a response in the same day. Need a referral or specialist care? Your team can help you with that, too. Urgent care video visits: Urgent care video visits with a qualified provider are available all the time, anytime ─ because some things can’t wait until you can get an in-person appointment. Home health monitoring: Every family enrolled in COMMpanion receives a home exam kit for monitoring vital signs, like temperature and blood pressure, so your provider can review your vitals and symptoms in real time. Care whenever you need it: You can’t always predict when you’ll need medical care. The COMMpanion app makes sure one thing is predictable – care is here whenever you need it, from a consistent team that knows you and how to keep you healthy. If you are an Apple Health user you will have the option to share important health information with your provider during your video visit. Sharing Apple Health data is optional but allows the provider to see heart rate, weight, and other health information to help them make a more accurate diagnosis.
