Telemedicine: A Critical Component of the Broker’s Benefits Offering

With 1,398% growth between 2014 and 2018, telemedicine use is on the rise. Spurred in part by the COVID-19 induced strain on the traditional healthcare experience, telemedicine has become the first line of defense in diagnostics and addressing the need for more accessible care.

As demand continues to rise, and legislation and regulations broaden to meet that demand, employers will find that employees are seeking telemedicine as part of a comprehensive benefits package. And now that telemedicine services are covered under Consumer-Driven Health Plans, it’s the ideal time for brokers to address this critical employer and employee need.
