That's a great assessment of the space! We're focused on the midsize self-insured market for that very reason. The incentives are closely aligned.

For example, ERs frequently take in patients hoping to get a UTI treated. Much of the time, the right treatment is a prescription. But, going to the ER to get the diagnosis can cost ~$2K (split between the employer and the employee) and take as long as 12 hours of waiting in the waiting room.

In this case, if a patient uses a telemedicine provider for the same service, they're likely to get the same diagnosis and prescription but the visit will cost ~$50.

The nearly $2K in savings would go to both the employee and employer, the employee saves money and is able to get treatment faster.
