Office visit co-pays and prescription medication can be quite costly.
If you, or one of your kids, is feeling a little under the weather, try calling your doctor's office for advice before you schedule an office visit. The doctor or nurse can give you some possible treatments and remedies over the phone. He or she can also tell you if the condition is "going around."
The doctor or nurse will tell you to schedule a visit if the condition worsens or doesn't get better.
