What is Telehealth?

Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, refers to providing patients with non-emergency healthcare, including consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, through any telecommunications technology.  With telehealth, you can receive adequate healthcare through your phone or any device with an internet connection such as a computer or tablet allowing you to maintain social distance and protecting yourself and your healthcare provider from COVID-19.

 

Why is Telehealth important?

Telehealth is important to decrease your contact with healthcare facilities, healthcare staff, and other sick patients which can reduce your risk of COVID-19 and protect others as well.

 

What are the benefits of Telehealth?

  • Speak with a doctor live via phone or video chat
  • Save on travel time/ transportation costs
  • Receive medical care from the comfort and safety of your home or office without having to adjust your schedule or take time off from work.
  • Reduced wait time for services.  On average, most telehealth services, such as RelyMD offered through Corporate Payroll Services, pair you with a doctor within 15 minutes to an hour.  Times vary based on physician availability.
  • Reduced number of visits to clinics
  • Save on co-pays.  Visits through some telehealth services, such as RelyMD offered through Corporate Payroll Services, have a $0 co-pay.
  • You are covered as well as immediate family in your household who range from ages 2 years old to 26 years old.

 

Is it easy to sign up for a telehealth service?
