If you are an employer and one of your employees got injured on the job, having telemedicine on your side would be advantageous for both you and your employee. In a situation where the doctor is located too far away to care for the injury quickly, what do you do? This is where being able to see a doctor remotely could benefit the employer and the worker. Companies that are located in rural areas may find access to a physician through telemedicine extremely helpful. That’s because telemedicine for employers is not only a quick way to connect patients with physicians, it is also a great way to cut costs. The costs begin adding up when injured workers are travelling long distances to get check-ups. But according to a report by Towers Watson, U.S. companies could realize more than $6 billion a year in health care savings with telemedicine.
