Offering a telemedicine benefit enables your employees to seek medical attention quickly, from the ease of their own home. Better yet, with the MHS plan’s telemedicine partner, these services can be used without a copay, making this not only a quick option, but a cost-effective one as well.

TELEMEDICINE

SwiftMD is a telemedicine service that delivers quality health care, via phone and videoconferencing, directly to your employees and their family members when covered under the MHS health plan. Your employees can enjoy nationwide 24/7 access to high-quality U.S.-trained, Board-Certified Physicians, avoiding unnecessary visits and long waits at the ER, Urgent Care clinic or primary care offices for common illnesses.

In our experience, employers could benefit from this service through:

Treatment for some conditions at lower costs than an office visit
Convenience of telephonic consultation, which could save time away from work
Alternative to after-hours urgent care, which is beneficial for busy working parents
Access to a virtual doctor 24/7 with no co-pay
