What is telehealth

Telehealth offers patients 24/7/365 telehealth consultations via phone or online video with board-certified physicians who can diagnose, recommend treatment, and write short-term, non DEA prescriptions—providing a convenient, cost-effective alternative to urgent care and ER visits.

Telehealth meets health plans’ most pressing needs

In recent years telehealth has entered the mainstream and is regarded as part of a national healthcare solution.

Rising costs

With increased pressure to manage administrative costs and set limits for medical expenditures, telehealth can provide cost savings through re-direction of unnecessary ER and urgent care visits.
