ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEALTH PLANS LAUNCHES MYDIGITALMD

Providing Members with access to health care, anywhere.


GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Aug. 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) has launched MyDigitalMD, a free service for RMHP Members that revolutionizes access to urgent health care. MyDigitalMD allows Members to get the care they need from Colorado-based, Board Certified emergency medicine doctors via secure instant messaging and scheduled video chats online or through a mobile app. Doctors are available 365 days a year from 8:00 a.m. to midnight (MT) and can diagnose, treat, and provide instruction for further follow up to many common health concerns that could otherwise lead to more costly emergency room visits - saving RMHP Members time and money. For those on the Western Slope, records will also be integrated with Quality Health Network for Members to provide continuity of care.

"In today's busy age, we wanted to offer our Members a convenient option to connect with a doctor for those ailments that may unnecessarily send them to the ER or for the instances when they cannot get to their doctor's office," said Leanne Hart, Director of Marketing & Communications. "MyDigitalMD does just that; the new free service provides straightforward access to doctors, when you need it and where you need it, by simply using your smartphone or computer."  

MyDigitalMD utilizes physicians from Ergentus, a Colorado-based emergency service physicians group. Established in 1976, Ergentus has been recognized by HealthGrades® for Emergency Medicine Excellence.

A recent user of MyDigitalMD said, "The doctor was very friendly and helpful. I was amazed at the ease of scheduling the appointment and how fast a doctor could speak with me. I love knowing that I have access to MyDigitalMD and the ability to get professional care from a doctor so quickly and easily".

MyDigitalMD is currently available for RMHP Commercial and Medicaid Members. Members can access the online platform at MyDigitalMD.com or download the free app through the Apple App Store. RMHP plans to release an Android app, as well.
