"With a growing number of COVID variants increasing worker reluctance to go to a physical doctor's office, HospitalityCARE VPC's integration of virtual primary care leader PlushCare equips employers with a timely, much needed competitive advantage. The HospitalityCARE VPC program and app allow employers to deliver a highly-valued Employee Experience that will help hospitality organizations to recruit and retain their market's top talent in today's challenging hiring environment," stated Dye.
The HospitalityCARE VPC plan is comprised of the following services and insurance coverages:
Virtual Primary Care
PlushCare, now a part of Accolade, offers virtual primary care services in all 50 states, providing access to same-day visits with best-in-class doctors through HospitalityCARE VPC's mobile benefit application. Unlike legacy telemedicine services where members are randomly connected to any available contract doctor, PlushCare provides repeat access to the same, dedicated virtual primary care physician. PlushCare's physicians can treat a wide range of chronic conditions while providing the full primary care experience, including prescriptions, lab orders, and specialist referrals.
At the member's discretion, their personal PlushCare physician can be granted access to the member's health records, providing an even higher level of consistent medical care. In addition to virtual primary care physicians, members will have 24/7 virtual connectivity to a care team of nurses and care coordinators that support them between doctors visits via unlimited text messaging.
Virtual primary care visits and care team member communications are paid for by the plan's fully insured benefits.
Mental Health
"COVID has created an increase in mental health needs for our clients' associates across the country. A surprising statistic is that primary care providers prescribe 79% of antidepressant medications, and see 60% of people being treated for depression*. Virtual access to PlushCare primary care physicians for the treatment of depression and anxiety enhances the mental health benefits provided by HospitalityCARE VPC," Dye continued.
HospitalityCARE VPC provides insured benefits for in-person doctor's office visits, as well as emergency room and urgent care visits. The plan also pays benefits for x-rays, lab work, prescription drugs and a lengthy list of out-patient and in-patient services.
Prescription Drugs
HospitalityCARE VPC includes insurance coverage for both generic and name brand prescription drugs.
HospitalityCARE VPC includes comprehensive dental insurance that provides coverage for a full range of dental procedures and treatments.
Investing and Retirement
One-click access to the highest rated investment apps to enable the employee to establish an account to receive a potential signing bonus or other financial incentives that may be offered by the employer.
