What's the main difference between EZaccessMD and First Stop Health?

Both are employer-first, $0-to-the-member virtual care benefits. EZaccessMD adds in-home diagnostics — a technician runs labs, rapid tests, and imaging at the member's home or workplace — so visits that need a physical test get resolved without an urgent-care or ER trip.

Can First Stop Health do an X-ray or lab test?

First Stop Health is a virtual-care service (telemedicine and virtual counseling), so it doesn't perform in-person diagnostics. EZaccessMD pairs the telehealth visit with in-home labs and imaging.

Can an employer offer both?

Yes. They overlap on virtual visits, but EZaccessMD's in-home diagnostics and First Stop Health's behavioral-health depth address different needs, so some employers run them together.

EZaccessMD vs. First Stop Health

First Stop Health offers $0 virtual care and counseling built specifically for employers — an approach we admire. EZaccessMD shares that employer-first, low-friction philosophy, and adds something virtual-only care can't: real diagnostics delivered to the member's door.

The bottom line

First Stop Health and EZaccessMD agree on the fundamentals: care should be easy to reach, $0 at the point of use, and built around employer ROI. First Stop Health delivers that for virtual medical and mental-health visits.

EZaccessMD takes it one step further on the medical side. When a member's symptom needs a test — strep, flu, UTI, a possible fracture — a video visit can only advise; EZaccessMD sends a technician with the diagnostics to confirm and treat at home. That extra step is why our utilization sits near 75% and why members avoid the urgent-care and ER trips that drive plan cost. Where a benefit needs dedicated behavioral health, the two can complement each other.
