HOW DOES IT WORK?
• Request a consult: Open the TMC Now App and request a consult with either a medical provider or a mental health provider, provide medical history and pay for the consult. Your TMC Now account is also available at tmcnow.tmcaz.com or (855-754-6898).
• Talk to a provider: Within minutes, a licensed provider reviews your medical history and contacts you via phone or video.*
• Pick up a prescription: If a prescription is a medically necessary next step, a prescription can be submitted to a local pharmacy of your choice.
DOES TMC NOW REPLACE MY DOCTOR?
No. Your primary care provider or primary mental health provider knows the intricacies of your health and is crucial in providing care that’s right for you so you can prevent illness, manage chronic conditions and identify health concerns early.
TMC Now provides general medical and mental health care for those times when you’re too busy, too sick, or it’s too late in the day to see your own provider. You can download a copy of your visit information to share with your regular provider at your next scheduled visit.
HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE?
Most medical visit requests are answered within 30 minutes or less. While you’re waiting for the next available provider to come online, we’ll keep you posted on your status. If you miss your visit, you’ll be returned to the end of the queue.
Our consults have no time limit so make sure you have the answers you need to get back on the road to recovery. *
*Mental health visits are scheduled for a time that is convenient for you within 72 hours of the request and last for one-hour.
