Strep Throat treatment with NALC Health Benefit Plan
Clindle clinicians are in-network with NALC Health Benefit Plan and clinicians treat strep throat over a same-day video visit. Most NALC members pay only their standard office-visit copay.
About Strep Throat
Strep throat (group A streptococcal pharyngitis) presents with sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudate — usually without cough. The CENTOR or McIsaac score helps decide who to test. Clindle orders a rapid strep test or throat culture at a lab near you when symptoms fit, and prescribes penicillin VK or amoxicillin (or azithromycin for penicillin allergy) for confirmed cases. Untreated strep can cause rheumatic fever — that's why we treat it. Drooling, severe one-sided pain, or trouble breathing means in-person evaluation.
NALC coverage at Clindle
Clindle accepts the NALC Health Benefit Plan for letter carriers and their families. NALC members can book video visits with Clindle clinicians under their plan's benefits. We verify your NALC coverage before the appointment.
We verify your specific NALC plan before the visit and tell you the expected out-of-pocket cost up front. If your plan doesn't cover telehealth, you can use the flat $50 self-pay rate instead.
