Win-Win for Telemedicine

Telemedicine delivers high satisfaction and helps members manage their health and save on medical costs

A recent Harris Poll conducted on behalf of Elevance Health (formerly Anthem, Inc.) shows that 94% of patients are satisfied with their virtual primary care experience, and 79% say it allowed them to take charge of their health.

The same is true for GeoBlue’s highly rated Global TeleMD™ telemedicine app, which enables members to connect with a doctor by mobile phone or video anywhere in the world.
 
“I have used the service twice now and was extremely impressed with the speed and care of the professionals.”
 
– Global TeleMD patient

Surveys indicate that 93% of patients would recommend the service,1 which is included as a benefit for all GeoBlue and Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® products at no additional cost to the employer or member.  

Beyond the convenience, telemedicine services can help members and employers save by avoiding medical expenses and claims that would have occurred through an in-person visit.
 
70% of members did not need to leave their location with Global TeleMD
73% of members would have incurred medical expenses without Global TeleMD
