Telemedicine for employers is a genius way to take care of employee injuries quickly and inexpensively. Just one video visit could save time on not only swiftly treating an injury, but also moderating it. Rent-A-Center, a rental company for furniture, appliances, electronics, and more, used telemedicine for their employees and saved over $750,000 in health care costs over a period of 16 months.
Why employers want this
Many employers want to know ways that can get employees the care that they need within a specific time schedule and for it to help reduce medical expenses Jason Gorevic, CEO of Teladoc, explains that telemedicine for workers comp is so great because it is the solution to, “the challenge people have in getting access to quality primary care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People frequently end up in the emergency room or urgent care center, or they forgo care.”
