Dermatology via Amwell
When you need to see a doctor, it’s usually a pretty urgent need. There aren’t many people who get super excited about having to wait weeks, or even months, for an appointment when they’re in need of care. This is especially true for a dermatological issue—there’s only so much time you want to spend worrying about that iffy mole, scratching at an itchy scalp, or fighting with a skin rash at home. And yet, that’s often the experience we receive when trying to schedule appointments with a dermatologist’s office; long waitlists and time spent trying to get care for health concerns that are affecting your daily wellbeing.
If this is an experience you’ve had in the past, we’ve got great news for you! Because of WeShare’s partnership with Amwell Telemedicine, dermatology visits are now an offering for all WeShare and UHSM Members. You receive unlimited visits with no consult fee or AMCS with your membership, and for added convenience, these dermatology visits are all asynchronous.
Just what is an asynchronous visit? This means you will use WeShareTelehealth.org to submit dermatology concerns and receive an actionable treatment plan directly from a dermatologist. You’ll upload any relevant medical records, lab work, or images so your doctor can review and respond to your concern with a tailored treatment plan, including an in-person referral for continued support and treatment if necessary. Imagine having a dermatologist friend who’s just a message away, available for you to ask any and every question you have—that’s what this new dermatology benefit gives to you! With Amwell, board certified dermatologists are available 24/7, every day of the year (including holidays and weekends!) so that you have someone in your corner even for the most immediate hair, skin, and nail needs.
And as if this wasn’t cool enough, this is only one of the perks Amwell gives to WeShare Members; with Amwell, you can also access incredibly convenient benefits like virtual urgent care, nutrition help, psychiatric appointments, and so much more!

Feel free to pause the endless googling of skin conditions and symptom scrolling—instead, head to WeShareTelehealth.org whenever you need support from a dermatologist.
