The online service offers individuals and families on-demand access to professional, licensed physicians for video, phone and secure email consultations.
- San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) November 17, 2010 - Getting in to see a licensed doctor is now just a click away: American Telehealth Corporation announced the launch of myRealMD.com, a comprehensive online medical consultation service that uses telehealth technology to connect you to real, licensed doctors who can answer questions, diagnose and treat conditions, and if medically appropriate, prescribe medicine to pharmacies.
Through video chat, phone or secure email, individuals and families are able to consult with a doctor at any time of day, any day of the week, after scheduling a consult via the website. Unlike traditional medical care, myRealMD.com's services work when individuals and families are traveling globally as well.
"We started myRealmd.com because we believed that the majority of in office visits were not necessary. We felt by using technology, that we could fix the problem of having to wait in a waiting room to see the doctor," explained Johnny Mathis, President of myRealMD.com. "What's more is we wanted a HIPPA-compliant system that kept electronic health records, so that with each doctor's consultation, a history could be built that other doctors would be able to access.
The eHealth record system is a powerful, HIPAA-compliant platform that houses all of a patient's records, tools and guides in one fully-accessible online dashboard. Each profile is secure and confidential, with all consultations and doctor's notes recorded and auto-updated into each personal eHealth record.
"Our physician load varies by state, but we currently have coverage in all states and are ramping up very quickly," announced Mathis. "We already have a list of doctors that are being trained on the system, which will be readily available through the myRealMD.com site shortly."
In addition to the credentialing verification process and extensive training for myRealMD.com physicians, the network physicians are continually reviewed to ensure they are being attentive to each patient's needs, conducting thorough examinations, and providing individualized diagnoses and treatment plans.
Not only does myRealMD.com provide personalized, around-the-clock medical care by licensed doctors, it also offers other medical services:
• myRealMD.com doctors may request tests based on a diagnosis or to help maintain one's overall health. Its network of doctors has the ability to order patient lab tests from over 2,000 diagnostic lab testing locations nationwide.
• myRealMD.com offers a Comprehensive Wellness Test & Profile: a blood screening that helps both the patient and doctor detect health problems early and create a plan for a healthier future.
myRealMD.com provides plans that cater not just to the individual, but to entire families as well. The prices of the service vary depending on the number of people enrolled on myRealMD.com: $9.99 individual/mo., $14.99 couple/mo, and $19.99 family of five/mo.
