Advantages of Mobile Healthcare for Employees Over Traditional Doctors
Mobile healthcare offers services for businesses that a primary care provider simply cannot compete with. They save time and money and offer state-of-the-art benefits.

Time Savings
The average doctor's visit takes 2-3 hours when you factor in travel, waiting, the appointment itself, and the pharmacy trip afterward. Mobile healthcare reduces this to minutes of the employee's active time — the mobile unit comes to them, performs diagnostics on-site, and sends prescriptions electronically.
Cost Savings
Employers pay an average of $4,066 for each ER visit. Mobile healthcare diverts these visits by providing the same diagnostic capability — X-rays, rapid tests, EKGs — at the patient's location for a fraction of the cost.
Accessibility
Traditional doctor's offices operate 9-5, Monday through Friday. Mobile healthcare is available 24/7/365, covering all shifts, weekends, and holidays. For employers with second and third shift workers, this is transformative.
Employee Satisfaction
A healthcare benefit that comes to you, costs $0, and actually resolves the problem creates a fundamentally different employee experience than "call this number and hope for the best."
