Basic Comparison of the Two Companies.
HandicapDocs and DrHandicap are online telehealth services that provide online disabled parking permit exams for people with physical impairments. HandicapDocs is doctor-owned and operated while DrHandicap hires outside doctors to approve or disapprove online applicants. This article will discuss HandicapDocs vs. DrHandicap. Similarities and Differences.
Overview of HandicapDocs.
The HandicapDocs site gets its name from the two doctors: Dr. Al and Dr. Bruce who have been in practice since 1996 and 1994, respectively. HandicapDocs pricing is lower than the competition. No registration needed. Fast, HIPAA compliant online, same day appointments and approvals, with a money-back guarantee are a few of the company’s key strategies.
HandicapDocs provides a 10 minute HIPAA secure online application, which allows for easy upload of a few medical documents. Once the application is in, the doctors personally review everything before making a phone call to the patient within a few hours, the same day. The company also provides a direct phone number for patients to call to speak directly with one of the doctors from 8 am through midnight, 7 days a week. This is how the HandicapDocs system stands out. “Our doctors personally manage the site and provide the telehealth consults.” Applicants at HandicapDocs can always reach out to one of the doctors to ask questions. Never is there a nurse or just a person answering the phone and taking messages. One-on-one care from start to finish is what makes HandicapDocs stand out.
