What's great about this particular virtual doctor-visiting app is that it isn't limited by working hours the way physical doctors' offices are, as it promises [access to doctors 24 hours a day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inpatient-virtual-care) and seven days a week. Users can communicate with doctors via [smartphone, tablet or computer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cvs-health-app), with prices ranging from $49 to lower depending on insurance status.
