NormanMD offers a 24/7 virtual urgent care telemedicine service powered by Austin Regional Clinic doctors. The service provides flexible partnership options, marketing, and customer support to help businesses reduce costs and save employees time and money. NormanMD can be implemented even without a broker, insurance plan, or existing employee benefits.
Telemedicine services are increasingly important for businesses. "Nearly 70% of healthcare visits occur during business hours," which can lead to delays in care if employees cannot schedule visits conveniently. Telemedicine allows employees to access care sooner, improving health outcomes and reducing the spread of illness at work.
A significant majority of businesses with over 50 employees now offer telemedicine services. "Today, 90% of businesses with 50+ employees offer a telemedicine service." This trend reflects the growing expectation among employees for telehealth as an essential benefit.
The Society for Human Resource Management notes that telehealth can resolve acute issues in one virtual visit, cutting down on costly emergency room or urgent care visits. A study indicates savings from $300 to more than $1,500 per avoided ER visit.
For effective implementation, companies should consider factors like local doctors who understand regional health trends and minimal wait times for appointments. Additional features include prescription services for temporary refills and coordination with primary care providers through visit summaries.
NormanMD's offerings include broker- and insurance-independent options tailored to business needs and budgets.
