Virtual Primary Care Provider MedLion Clinic Introduces Direct-to-Consumer Services
Online Medical Service Promises Affordable, Convenient Care During Pandemic.
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MedLion Clinic, a virtual Direct Primary Care practice operating in dozens of states, today announced economically priced healthcare services designed for individuals and their families.
The online clinic has traditionally focused on employers to help lower healthcare costs by capping frequently-used primary care at low monthly rates. By going direct-to-consumers the company looks to expand its service footprint, especially given high demand during the ongoing pandemic.
"In these unprecedented times, safe and affordable access to primary care is incredibly important," says Dr. Sam Qamar, MedLion Clinic CEO. "Our patients can obtain medical services, $1 prescriptions, and lab orders right over their smartphone. No long waits and no exposure to other sick patients. You can text your MedLion doctor directly, too. It's not telemedicine – it's tech-enabled healthcare for modern times."
In addition to routine primary care, MedLion Clinic's doctors specialize in non-urgent acute care and chronic condition management. Patients can choose unlimited online primary care for $13 a month, or opt for visits at $45 each – children below 18 are free when an adult is on a subscription plan. Patients are followed by a dedicated doctor and team, unlike most other telemedicine services where care is fragmented and not continuous.
Employers and businesses will continue to use MedLion Clinic for low-cost high-quality care for their employees, either directly, or via health benefits brokers.
Telehealth usage soared during the pandemic, eventually stabilizing at levels 38 times higher than before the Covid-19 pandemic (McKinsey & Co, June, 2021). MedLion Clinic says it believes telehealth usage will remain high post-pandemic due to virtual care systems being strengthened, one of the reasons for expanding its services to consumers.
