Cost and convenience are why telemedicine has quickly grown in popularity and is included in major insurance plans today. As the industry evolves, a downside is emerging. Most major insurance carriers are continuing to charge a doctor copay in addition to the insurance premium for virtual doctor visits. In like manner, Independent Telehealth companies having no affiliation with insurance carriers, are charging more and more fees as time goes on.

In contrast, HealthCoreMD is an independent telemedicine provider offering two distinctive programs, Telehealth Basic and Telehealth Plus+ for our members. Monthly membership provides unlimited doctor consultations and counseling sessions without additional fees or copays for services. Insurance is not required, nor do we bill insurance. Our programs are straightforward, and pricing is transparent. We invite you to compare providers with the information that can be found on public websites.

Are All Telemedicine Companies the Same?

The downside of telemedicine is most carriers continue to charge a doctor copay in addition to the insurance premium. And their telemedicine technology partner, which provides the platform used by doctors for online consultations, charges fees to the patient to recoup their costs.

In response, independent telehealth companies having no affiliation with insurance carriers emerged to gain market share by cutting costs for insured consumers not fond of paying premiums and copays for virtual visits. But over time, most independent telehealth continued adding more and more fees, to their basic telehealth offering.

In contrast, HealthCoreMD is an independent telemedicine provider offering two distinctive programs, Telehealth Basic and Telehealth Plus+ for our members. Our programs are straightforward, and pricing is transparent. Monthly membership provides unlimited doctor consultations and counseling sessions without additional fees or copays for services. Insurance is not required, nor do we bill insurance.

Memberships may be held individually or as part of a group. Employers and Organizations may choose to sponsor a group and receive discounted member pricing. Contact us to learn more!
