On Knox County Government medical insurance, you can save hundreds of dollars by using telemedicine, retail/convenient care clinics and urgent care clinics for minor illnesses and injuries instead of going the emergency room. Telemedicine is available 24 hours a day all seven days of the week, and the average wait time is less than 10 minutes. Click the document to learn more about using telemedicine and urgent care.
There are ways to lower your costs when your doctor orders an outpatient MRI, CAT scan, PET scan, etc. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on where you have the test done. Using an in-network, independent advanced imaging facility can save you lots of money. Click the document for a list of facilities and to learn more about advanced imaging costs.
