While it’s proven that routine primary care improves overall health and lowers healthcare costs, most people do not see a primary care physician (PCP). 60% of Americans either don’t have or don’t use a PCP — resulting in greater healthcare claims impacts and a growing prevalence of chronic conditions.

Learning Objectives:
- Virtual care can improve primary care quality
- Virtual doctors help manage chronic care for employees
- Virtual primary care can deliver greater value for total healthcare savings
