An ER visit for a non-emergent issue like a deep cut, sprain, or sudden fever can easily cost several thousand dollars. Yet, millions of workers head straight to the emergency department simply because their traditional doctor’s office couldn’t see them for two weeks, or because an issue flared up after 5:00 PM.
Member Medical operates on a membership model that guarantees 24/7 direct access to primary care providers (via telehealth). When an employee injures themselves or feels ill after hours, they don’t have to guess whether an expensive ER trip is necessary. They can contact a Member Medical provider directly.
By resolving urgent issues in-office or via telehealth, Member Medical can divert up to 40%* of unnecessary ER and urgent care visits. For self-funded or level-funded business health plans, keeping those high-dollar claims off the books translates directly to lower renewal rates and thousands in saved claims costs.
