“We are very pleased with the additional clinical support we receive as a result of our partnership with RubiconMD. Thanks to this relationship, our providers and patients have near real-time access to board-certified physicians in more than 100 specialties.

“As a mission-driven organization, at RubiconMD, we care deeply about improving patient care. Everside Health is a longtime partner with a strong commitment to improving outcomes and reducing costs and we’re proud to support their patient centric care model to transform healthcare in America,” Carles Reines, RubiconMD Co-founder and President said.

Continuing the work that began five years ago, Everside Health’s clinicians pursue a technology-driven approach to support patients with easier, faster access to specialists. The partnership with RubiconMD helps make an impact with their patients’ quality of care. This is done through the thousands of eConsults, across nearly 150 different specialties and subspecialties, offered by RubiconMD. With the assistance of these eConsults, Everside Health’s clinical engagement has increased by 96%, while improving their internal care teams’ workflows.
This partnership continues to produce outstanding results that include Everside Health clinicians reporting 74% of eConsults improved their patients’ care plans and 47% of eConsults reduced costs by preventing unnecessary referrals or services. Everside Health is able to offer patients access to top specialists’ insights within a few hours, while also avoiding long visit times and confusing out-of-pocket costs.
