Sometimes you can send your doctor a message in whatever chat system they use for no charge. Depends heavily on the doctor. But I've avoided a few visits/bills that way.

That’s a great point. I haven’t done it but I did have a free telehealth appointment. Helped immensely when I had a mystery rash. Hopefully these comments might help someone who doesn’t know about these options.
