Mumbai, Maharashtra Mar 12, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Second Medic earlier this month reported that in addition to an increase in telehealth visit numbers, new user registrations through its top-selling Individual and family health plan increased to an all-time high. Registrations have crossed the highest since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in March. The rapid growth has been driven by all-around government support and official recommendations that virtual health care stands as the first line for medical and behavioral health care in light of COVID-19. This has been further fast-tracked by companies offering free follow-ups to encourage telehealth use during this pandemic. “While many health care experts said patient, adoption was at a tipping point at the start of 2020, it is clear that COVID-19 puts virtual health care on a fast track for substantial triple-digit growth. “Our growth reflects a continuation of the overall mission to popularize telehealth and more patients become aware of and using it. No surprise that for those who try it, the number of repeat visits is high. Typically, more than 33 percent of Second Medic visits are from repeat users. We are reducing the risk of contagion across a number of diseases, including COVID-19. This increase in adoption allows more of our members to benefit from access to healthcare sooner and therefore lower overall healthcare costs.” Daily visit numbers increased by more than 50% on a consistent basis week-over-week and are expected to continue to rise. Increased visit volumes were already seen by Second Medic prior to the coronavirus situation since the launch of the new Medical Second Opinion Platform
The company has increased its active provider network by over 44% and will continue to add board-certified physicians to meet the projected demand for ongoing high levels of virtual health care use by its members. Second Medic is taking other steps to reduce wait times and improve the overall patient experience during the crisis. This includes expediting changes to allow providers to see patients in states that have removed state-level license requirements, which has resulted in decreased wait times and increased provider productivity. “We will continue to increase the number of healthcare providers on our platform to ensure that we are able to help in this hour of need.
