What is MDLIVE and Urgent Care telemedicine?
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance. It has been used to overcome distance barriers and to improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities.
Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications and software to provide clinical services to patients without an in-person visit. Telemedicine technology is frequently used for follow-up visits, management of chronic conditions, medication management, specialist consultation and a host of other clinical services that can be provided remotely by secure video and audio connections.
Urgent care telemedicine conducted using our approved telehealth provider (found in the Member Center)has a $0 provider fee at the time of service. Telemedicine is subject to all other limitations of health sharing costs and is not a promise to pay or provide that service by either Impact or its membership. As with all other medical costs and expenses, contribution to Telemedicine remains voluntary. Virtual Mental Health Care is eligible for sharing through a teletherapy provider approved by Impact (found in the Member Center). Members must pay 100% of the session consult fee at the time of service and may submit proper receipts to Impact for processing via the Medical Expense Form. Virtual Mental Health is considered a Specialist for provider fee purposes and is subject to the PRA and co-share.
