PPA Benefit Focus: Make Time for Your Health with Call A Doctor Plus

May 20, 2026

Between client sessions, editing deadlines, travel, consultations, and the day-to-day demands of running a photography business, it can be easy for photographers to put their own health last. But taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your business.

That’s why PPA members have access to Call A Doctor Plus, a telemedicine benefit designed to make everyday healthcare more convenient. Instead of rearranging your schedule, sitting in a waiting room, or delaying care because you’re too busy, you can connect with a doctor quickly and safely by phone or internet.

Convenient Care When You Need It

Call A Doctor Plus gives PPA members 24/7 access to U.S.-Board-certified physicians who can help with common health concerns and everyday medical questions. Through the service, doctors can diagnose illnesses, answer questions, review photos sent by smartphone for additional insight, and prescribe medication to a local pharmacy when appropriate.

For busy photographers, that kind of access can make a meaningful difference. Whether you’re preparing for a packed weekend of sessions, recovering after travel, or trying to avoid losing valuable studio time, telemedicine can help you get care without putting your schedule completely on hold.

Support for the Mind, Body, and Business

Wellness is about more than treating a cough or cold. Call A Doctor Plus also includes support for mental health concerns, personal challenges, and work-life needs. For photographers who balance creative pressure, client expectations, business responsibilities, and unpredictable schedules, having access to confidential support can be an important part of staying well.

The service is designed to support a broader approach to care, helping members address health concerns while also offering resources that can contribute to greater peace of mind.

A Flexible Benefit for Photographers and Their Teams

PPA members can access Call A Doctor Plus for $14.95 per month, compared to the regular rate of $24.95 per month. There is no co-pay, no deductible, and no per-call charge.

Members may also add up to five dependents from their family or studio, including pediatrics. That flexibility makes the benefit useful not only for individual photographers, but also for members who want convenient care options for their household or small studio team.
