Telemedicine can be a game changer during a time of crisis. We have recently seen this for public agencies when the service is made available to their staff if hospitals and clinics are not available due to the wildfires or other critical occurrences. Telemedicine also has a place in everyday life if you just want to be more efficient with your time.

 

• If you use Company Nurse for injury reporting and nurse triage services, employees will be given the option of using their customary doctor, or using telemedicine.
• If you do not use Company Nurse, the employer can direct the employee to their customary doctor, or to use telemedicine.
• If the claim is already in progress, employees can elect to begin utilization of telemedicine.
