Telemedicine
How Telemedicine Works and Why?
73% of Americans have trouble receiving timely medical care without having to visit the emergency room. Help your members save time and money with 24/7 access to a doctor by phone or online video consult—anytime, anywhere with no consult fee. Doctors offer a diagnosis, treatment options and prescription if necessary. By using Telemedicine instead of going to an urgent care clinic or ER, members cut unnecessary out-of-pocket costs and time wasted in crowded waiting rooms.

This service improves patients’ access to physicians. Members connect with board certified physician via phone, smart phone, tablet, or laptop for diagnosis and treatment 24/7. The physician treats the patient and calls in the prescription to the pharmacy of the patient’s choice. A small monthly fee covers everyone in the household, regardless of location.
Value Proposition: No Co-Pay. Lower cost for patient and keeps claims costs off of plan. Increases time efficiency for patient (no need to visit the doctor during work hours).
