Our approach to care

We believe in a “closed loop of care” approach, so that all stakeholders understand the expectations, communication is streamlined, and accountability is unmatched. To facilitate the highest level of care, work and life, strong relationships and partnerships are essential. Clear and open channels of communication between patient, employer, doctors and all other providers is the foundation of our Medical Care Plus service.

We also have a strategic partnership with the Lynchburg General Emergency Department allowing us to extend our closed loop of care to nights, weekends and holidays, providing 24-7 accessibility 365 days a year.

Near site clinic

Employer on-site or near-site clinics can provide quick and easy access for acute or episodic needs and provide robust referral programs enabling employees to get the care that they need more quickly and efficiently. Near site clinics provide a tangible benefit to increase employee retention rates and new hire popularity. In addition, it opens the opportunity to educate employees on health and wellness and how to prevent major health risks, in turn preventing absenteeism related to preventable illnesses.

Why is Biometric Screening important

Biometric screenings are a series of health tests designed to offer insight into your employees’ overall health. This short health examination can help to determine the risk level of a person for certain diseases and medical conditions and help to establish a health baseline. A typical screening will take place in about 15-30 minutes, and consist of a blood draw (finger stick to test your HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, and Glucose) and other basic biometrics (BP, Height, Weight, BMI, and waist circumference).

Benefits for employers

75% of health care costs are attributed to chronic conditions that are preventable. Heart disease, for example, can be prevented with proper diet and exercise. In addition, early identification of certain risk factors, such as high cholesterol or blood pressure, can prevent larger problems down the road. This is where biometric screenings are most beneficial. A regular assessment of an individual’s health can provide valuable insight on current and potential medical issues, their risk for chronic preventable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, and can identify strategies for improved health and well-being.

Benefits for employers

Research shows that biometric health screenings can reduce health plan costs by identifying risk factors and at-risk employees that need medical attention. These assessments provide employers with important information that helps to shape the direction of their internal health and wellness initiatives. While most of the time individual results are de-identified to the employer, a third-party provider covered by HIPAA can access the data and potentially engage each individual as needed.
