Employers Benefit by Implementing Telehealth

Employees can address common medical issues without leaving work or address these issues after work, as doctors are available 24/7/365. MD Consult247's services are the fastest, most cost effective and convenient in the industry.

As many as 70% of Primary Office Visits, 66% of Urgent Care and 40% Emergency Room visits are unnecessary and patients could be effectively diagnosed and treated with a telephone or video consultation with MD Consult247. By using MD Consult247 you, as an employer, can lower your health care costs dramatically and increase productivity of your employees by keeping them healthy and at work!

Employer Benefits with MD Consult247:

• Lower annual health care costs. MD Consult247 can save the average business 25% or more in annual healthcare costs. Consultations are far less expensive than the cost of a primary care physician, urgent care center or ER visit.
• Reduced employee absenteeism. Employees can address minor medical issues without leaving or taking time off work. If medication is deemed appropriate, a prescription may be phoned in to the patient’s pharmacy.
• Enhanced productivity. Offering MD Consult247 enhances employee recruitment and retention. It drives employee satisfaction as part of their healthcare benefits package, and benefits employees who travel frequently.
• No open enrollment period. MD Consult247 is not an insurance plan. Rather, it provides employees with prompt access to real-time physician care, and is available 24/7, wherever there is telephone or internet access.
• Unlimited $0 cost consults.  Your employees can call 24/7/365 to speak with a physician at no cost to them.
• Special Employer Rates:  MD Consult247 offers low PEPM rates so employers can provide this cost-saving benefit to their employees.
• Stand-Alone Benefit:  Even if your company does not provide health coverage for your employees, you can implement this to keep your workforce healthy and at work.

Return on Investment

Telehealth is the only employee benefit that actually has a "Return on Your Investment" (ROI). By implementing this benefit, your employees will spend less time going to the doctor themselves and taking their dependents to the doctor during working hours. They will have convenient access to a doctor 24/7 which will allow them to seek treatment early, reduce complications and be more productive at work.
