What is Telemedicine

From the simplest stand point, telemedicine is Zoom for patient doctor care. You have an account and from which you can sign in on a phone app or website. Here you have access to resources: on demand web calls, on demand phone calls, set up appointments, access documents and prescriptions, etc.

How Does It Benefit my Business?

Over 65% of Telemedicine visits prevent a workplace absence.  Often employees are making doctor visits during working hours to skip long lines on weekends and to meet the open hours of the clinics. Telemedicine allows for employees to see a doctor when they need it, where they need it, allowing for issues to be resolved timely outside of working hours.

How Much Does It Cost?

Some plans have this feature built into the cost of the extended healthcare coverage. Others offer it as an additional benefit with a per person premium.
