MediOrbis, a multi-specialty telehealth company with comprehensive specialty telemedicine services and chronic disease management (CDM) programs, introduces expanded telehealth platform capabilities and access to care with messaging-based encounters. Effective immediately, MediOrbis will now offer an additional communication modality in addition to the traditional encounters conducted over video and phone. Already providing asynchronous messaging capabilities, the MediOrbis platform will now support synchronous chat – based encounters to increase access to care for patients who either prefer messaging or do not have phone or video capabilities in their current state. This function will be accessible on its recently enhanced web and mobile apps.

“MediOrbis exemplifies what we refer to as ‘new telemedicine,’ by providing comprehensive, whole – person digital care,” says Dr. Jonathan Wiesen, M.D., the co-founder and chief medical officer of MediOrbis. “We are improving access to our top tier provider network for members or patients who either cannot, or prefer not, to call or utilize video to connect with their provider. We owe it to our patients to engage them where they are, and have a simple, helpful and cost – effective solution that any can utilize, anywhere.”

Already utilizing asynchronous communications as a leader in worldwide specialty telemedicine, by improving access to high quality specialty care and providing first-to-market capabilities for managing chronic conditions, such as heart disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease, MediOrbis is poised to deliver further value to its clients with this additional synchronous offering. MediOrbis can now also provide better access to support and coaching services from certified providers to members who are suffering from chronic and acute conditions.

With years of outstanding worldwide telemedicine service, conducting thousands of telemedicine patient consultations per month, the MediOrbis team continues to provide innovative and cost – efficient solutions, leveraging digital care to address and manage specialty and chronic illnesses – the most prevalent and resource-consumptive health conditions. With the introduction of this new program, MediOrbis expects the payer community to take advantage of this opportunity to address complex diseases and conditions, achieve better patient outcomes, reduce hospital admissions and lower costs. This is of even greater value to members in rural areas who lack adequate access to necessary wellness and health resources.

“We focus on improving patient engagement and enhancing the patient experience with telehealth services that answer market demand for more accessible, affordable specialty care,” says Wiesen. “We continually seek to innovate and develop meaningful programs that impact the health and well-being of individuals throughout the world while serving the fiduciary and financial concerns of our growing customer base.”
