"Physician Laren Hightower, DO launched Online Doctor Visits of Oklahoma in 2018. His dream to create a unique online practice stemmed from the many obstacles that multitudes of his patients have faced over the years. Obstacles in the form of increasing out-of-pocket expense for less choices of doctors, less choices of medications, less choices of hospitals, less coverage, and more oversight and interference of the patient-physician relationship by unwelcome third-parties such as health insurance companies and middlemen organizations.

Consequently, to help overcome the financial barrier to health care many people face [insured and uninsured alike] our basic flat fee ($68), compared to the traditional health insurance model, is often less than the typical urgent care co-pay ($75-$100) without any surprise bill later. Of course, if you compare our flat fee against the average cash price that most urgent care clinics charge ($150), the choice is clear!"
