Teladoc offering care for those impacted by Tropical Storm Debby

Who to call if you can't see your doctor after Debby

GEORGIA (41NBC/WMGT) – A company offers free online healthcare to those impacted by Tropical Storm Debby.

In a press release, Teladoc announces they will offer non-emergency services free of charge through their hotline. On their website, Teladoc says their services are available 24 hours a day.

According to Teladoc, doctors can help diagnose and treat illnesses like cold and flu symptoms, allergies, or urinary tract infections. The company says it also prescribe medication or help customers get necessary refills.

To ensure your visit is free, the company says you should call their Natural Disaster Hotline at (855) 225-5032. This includes patients who have used the service before. Teladoc explains in a media release that the hotline is aimed at people displaced by or unable to reach their normal healthcare provider because of Tropical Storm Debby.

The offer comes two days after Georgia Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency. As of Wednesday morning, the Macon-Bibb Emergency Management agency says the impact of Debby on Middle Georgia is expected to diminish, with low risk of flooding.

For Georgia counties expected to see storm damage, President Biden ordered federal assistance on Sunday.
