SwiftMD’s physician consultations cost less than traditional doctor’s visits.  And the savings in using SwiftMD instead of the emergency room is far greater.  Plus, hidden healthcare costs impact your bottom line, whether from work time lost to illness or employees accessing unneeded and costly care. Our telemedicine model eliminates the need to drive across town and wait hours to see a doctor.

Illness and injury impact productivity. Traditionally, employees miss work to seek medical attention for themselves or their families, or they may let illnesses drag on, decreasing their own productivity and spreading illness to others. They also may fail to quickly report and resolve workplace injuries.

SwiftMD gives employees instant, convenient access to quality care at work, at home or on the road. The result: employees more readily seek treatment and miss fewer work days. They even resolve workplace injury issues faster, saving time and money.

SwiftMD physicians can help prevent unnecessary use of ERs by advising when it’s appropriate to go, and when it’s not. Easy access to preventive care improves employee health and keeps overall insurance costs in check. Our medical team increases the size of your in-network physician group. SwiftMD integrates easily into any plan with minimal recordkeeping.

SwiftMD adds value to the wide variety of medical savings accounts now available. HRAs, HSAs and Flex Plans become more effective when employees have a high-quality, low-cost option for using pre-tax healthcare funds. SwiftMD also works well with high-deductible plans as an affordable alternative for routine and urgent care.

SwiftMD physicians diagnose common medical problems over the telephone and Internet, and provide prescriptions for medications and lab work. Our doctors are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whether employees are at the office, at home or on the road.

Wellness programs only work if employees use them. The number-one reason they don’t work: lack of access to qualified medical advice. Many employees report they want to speak with a doctor, not a nurse. SwiftMD offers consultations for wellness and preventive issues from smoking cessation to weight loss to exercise, plus a comprehensive database on health-related topics. SwiftMD improves the overall health of your workers, which helps keep benefits costs in check.

With SwiftMD, your employees get the best preventive and urgent care available. Our physicians are all emergency trained and experienced. They’ve received extensive training in telemedicine. The care they provide is superior to the care available at a local urgent care or general practice office—it is faster, more convenient and of the highest quality.

Employees enjoy convenient access to better care on demand, superior recordkeeping and cost containment, and maximum benefit from your company’s consumer-directed programs. Best of all, they get control over when and how they access physicians.
