Connect your members to a new kind of primary care solution
Watch as Dr. Cynthia Horner, Amwell Medical Director and a virtual primary care provider, shares how a seemingly straightforward visit for a rash turned into a preventive care opportunity that allowed her to identify and close gaps in care.
A modern, innovative digital healthcare experience for your members
Consumers are redefining the health care delivery system as we know it, driving change focused on convenience, quality, and affordability. It is more important than ever for health plans to meet the demands of today’s consumer and manage their own key business challenges:
-
Address gaps in care
1 in 4 Americans do not have a dedicated primary care provider (PCP), and patients who do not proactively visit with a PCP annually are more likely to develop high‑risk health conditions.
-
Avoid ED spend
The healthcare system spends $32 billion each year on avoidable ED visits, with the average cost of an ED visit at $1,500.
-
Keep members in network
12% of patient healthcare spend is on out‑of‑network care, driving up the cost of care for services that can be delivered within your network.
Amwell’s Virtual Primary Care solution, powered by our Digital First technology, connects your members to our in‑network virtual primary care doctors, providing easy and fast access to care.
