There are literally thousands of membership based organizations in the U.S. Tradesmen, artists, salesmen and others who look for ways to increase business, meet people with similar interests and enjoy membership provided perks. How do memberships use affordable benefits and incentives? Since many of your members may be uninsured or under insured, Strategic Concepts and our strategic partners have combined basic insurance benefits and incentives for your organization. Each plan can be tailored to meet your member's needs and are implemented easily with no fuss. Telemedicine A telemedicine connects members 24 hours, 7 days a week via telephone and email with U.S.-based, licensed physicians and board-certified specialists who have independently contracted to be participating providers in this Physician Network. It is a convenient and affordable alternative that increases access to physician care, while lowering healthcare costs. According to the Wellness Councils of America (WELCOA), as many as 70% of doctor office visits and emergency room visits are unnecessary. While the care was necessary, the travel and cost of the visit could be avoided. Telemedicine provides a more convenient, and cost-effective alternative to the high cost setting of a doctor’s office or the ER. This service can reduce healthcare costs, maximize physician access for rural residents, and offer convenience without sacrificing quality of care. This program provides access to physicians for telephone or secure email medical consultations. The medical services offered during a consultation can range from general advice to a diagnosis, recommendating treat, and prescribing medication, when appropriate.
