Call A Doctor Plus

The DVHCC chose Call A Doctor Plus as its sole telemedicine service provider because they do the necessary work to guarantee unions, union funds, municipalities, public schools, and their members and employees, significant health care savings. Call A Doctor Plus provides $0 copay access to the Teladoc doctor network. Teladoc enables members with 24/7 access to PCPs and pediatricians in your state who consult, diagnose, and prescribe for common medical conditions. Consultations are by phone or video chat and are HIPAA compliant and secure.

Telemedicine consultations routinely replace medical visits that otherwise would have generated PCP, Urgent Care or ER visits and claims to the fund. The American Medical Association suggests that 78% of all PCP office visits could be handled by a phone call or video consultation, and; studies indicate that nearly 60% of ER visits are not emergencies, only people having no other option to secure medical care. Consequently, the opportunity to save with a highly utilization telemedicine service is substantial.
