An Emerging Health 2.0 Benefits Program
By Staff Reporters
eDocAmerica’s mission is to improve health by providing direct, online access to medical services, making it much more convenient to get the information for employees to take better care of themselves.
Services
Services enable employees to provide better self care, to lead to a healthier life, and to visit a physician only when necessary. Medical problems can often be managed with the tools available on eDocAmerica’s website. Services include medical information from board certified physicians, and educational material about the medical conditions of employees and family members. Physician responses are authoritative and are made within 24 hours from the time of the request, with most responses arriving in three to four hours. Problems that require a more rapid response should be managed by a visit to a personal physician or an emergency facility.
MD Online
MD Online LLC [dba eDocAmerica] is a fully funded, private company. eDocAmerica has a ‘no advertising policy’ and therefore does not host or receive funding from advertising from the display of commercial content. It is an HONcode compliant website. (www.hon.ch)
