Money Saving Tip #179: Call the Doctor First

The next time you or your kids get sick, don't rush to the doctor with your cold or flu symptoms.  Call the doctor's office first.  Ask to speak with the Physician's Assistant or Registered Nurse instead.  Many times, they can give you advice and suggestions over the phone.  They can tell you if a doctor's visit is in order or if you should just stay home and rest.  The best part is that this service is free! 

If a medication needs to be prescribed, you will most likely have to go into the doctor's office.
