There is a superhero in all of us, we just need the courage to put on the cape. This month we are putting on the cape to fight the battle most employers face against absenteeism. The CDC reports that annual productivity losses linked to absenteeism cost employers $1,685 per employee. That’s a problem - one that's been going on for a long time, but yet we continue to take the same approach year after year.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) can be used to pay for telehealth, leveraging the power of these vehicles to ease the sting of rising out-of-pocket costs that make healthcare unaffordable. But there’s an even more effective way to leverage employer-provided benefit allowances. Employers are starting to adopt Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) in conjunction with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) called a Post-Deductible HRA.

Navigating the maze of health insurance options can be overwhelming. But when illness strikes, the uncertainty deepens. We find ourselves grappling with questions like where to turn for care—should we visit a primary care provider, rush to urgent care, or head straight to the emergency room?

Yet, making the right decision is paramount, as it can truly be a matter of life or death.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality selected the University of Rochester Medicine Center (URMC) for a grant to study high-intensity telemedicine’s impact on the local elderly population in 2009. Reflecting the group’s mission to make acute healthcare more accessible and affordable, it proved to be a tipping point in my career. In short, this cohort study’s results became the guiding principle for EZaccessMD’s launch.

  Featuring President + Co-Founder, Lois Irwin   I first learned about the power of mobile medical services as an undergraduate student at Cornell University volunteering at a hospital in Liberia. Citizens of this very poor West African country suffered from severe malnutrition and an infant mortality rate of over 50%. Most people lived with a low-grade infection of malaria since medications to prevent this disease were unaffordable.

With National Heart Month coming to a close, it is a great time to reflect on your cardiovascular health and learn some common practices to maintain your heart health. EZaccessMD is proud to offer echocardiograms as one of our many services to aid those with heart conditions and concerns. We sat down with Aliza Josephson, a licensed Cardiac Sonographer, to walk us through the basics of heart health, including symptoms of a possible heart condition.

In a blog that we typically focus on innovation in the home-health industry, today we want to highlight the people that are making the innovation happen. EZaccessMD is one of the leading players in the home-health industry, and here are the people you need to know about:

The world is a very different place than it was 5 years ago- as a matter of fact, it's much different than it was last year. When it comes to healthcare, attempting to predict what's ahead seems nearly impossible- so here are the facts. 5 healthcare statistics that will impact your approach to health benefits for 2023:

Remember the good ole' days of driving to the bank on Friday evening to deposit your paycheck after a long week? What about going to an actual brick & mortar store to pick up the newly released album by Prince? Or even just meeting up with an old friend to connect and have an actual in-person conversation?
