How virtual primary care can amplify value for providers and patients

Virtual primary care can enhance the healthcare experience by improving access and reducing costs, according to Teladoc Health’s US Group Health president, Kelly Bliss. This includes assisting with preventive care, chronic condition management, and mental health services. Moreover, the convenience prevents unnecessary ER visits and guides patients to affordable services, while also addressing barriers for those living in remote or low-income areas. Initial consultations can exceed 45 minutes, allowing patients to build a stronger doctor-patient relationship.
