– HealthTap, a virtual healthcare provider, just announced a major step towards making quality primary care accessible to all.
– Patients in all 50 states can now use their insurance when seeking virtual visits with board-certified doctors on the HealthTap platform.
Access to Affordable Primary Care to 280 Million Americans
Millions of Americans lack access to a regular primary care doctor. HealthTap’s insurance integration specifically targets this gap, offering traditional Medicare beneficiaries in-network coverage. This empowers over 34 million Americans to easily find a virtual primary care provider within their network.
HealthTap now accepts most major insurance plans, including traditional Medicare and many commercial and Medicare Advantage programs. This means you can schedule appointments in minutes with your chosen doctor, all with the convenience of video or phone consultations, and potentially pay only your standard copay.
Building Long-Term Relationships with Your Doctor
Unlike some virtual care options, HealthTap focuses on building lasting relationships between patients and their doctors. You’ll see the same provider for your appointments, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of your individual health needs. This comprehensive approach allows your doctor to provide preventative care, manage chronic conditions, and address any healthcare concerns you may have.
HealthTap leverages the latest advancements in AI to enhance your virtual care experience. Their Dr.A.I.™ technology uses GPT-4 to streamline appointments by gathering information conversationally before you even see your doctor. This not only saves time but also reduces workload for the providers, allowing them to dedicate more time to patient care.
“Today is a huge step forward for achieving our mission to place a quality primary care doctor at everyone’s fingertips — no matter where they live or how they pay for their care,” said HealthTap CEO and Co-founder Sean Mehra. “Every American deserves access to comprehensive, compassionate healthcare that is integrated and relationship-driven. By adding an insurance payment option to our industry-leading patient experience, we’re expanding access to high-quality care at affordable rates.”
