HealthLynked Expands Telemedicine
Nationwide
Naples, FL -- July 17, 2024 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB:
HLYK), a global leader in healthcare network technology, today
announced a strategic partnership with national telemedicine
provider HC Smart, Inc. to extend HealthLynked's telemedicine
services across the United States. This expansion, set to go live
within the next four weeks, is expected to significantly enhance
HealthLynked's offerings and accessibility.
Expansion Overview
This pivotal collaboration will integrate HC Smart's advanced
telemedicine capabilities into HealthLynked's existing platform,
providing nationwide coverage to all HealthLynked members. By
offering reduced-cost telemedicine consultations as part of
HealthLynked's membership program, this initiative ensures that
HealthLynked Network members can access high-quality healthcare
from the comfort of their homes. Previously confined to Florida,
this nationwide rollout marks a significant milestone in
HealthLynked's mission to make healthcare more accessible and
affordable.
Enhanced Service Offerings
HealthLynked's telemedicine expansion includes a comprehensive
range of services designed to meet diverse patient needs:
- Primary Care Consultations: Accessible general
health consultations with certified primary care providers.
- Specialist Services: Including counseling,
psychiatry, and dermatology, ensuring specialized care is available
to all members.
Flexible Appointment Scheduling
HealthLynked allows for booking both in-office and telemedicine
appointments, offering patients the flexibility to choose the most
convenient option. This integration streamlines the process, making
it as simple to book a medical appointment as reserving a table at
a favorite restaurant.
Membership Benefits
Premium members will enjoy discounts on telemedicine services
and access to various membership plans. The current membership plan
includes concierge services such as medical profile setup, nurse
chat, online appointment booking, medical record management, and
more. At this membership level, telemedicine services are expected
to launch at $50 per call, a significant saving compared to the
typical cost of an in-office visit or walk-in clinic, which can
range from $200 to $300.
HealthLynked plans to introduce programs offering discounted
rates on telemedicine visits, allowing users to save by purchasing
multiple visits upfront. These packages cater to various healthcare
needs, enabling users to choose a plan based on their anticipated
usage over the course of a year. By buying more visits in advance,
users can effectively manage healthcare costs while ensuring
convenient access to medical care.
Executive Statements
Dr. Michael Dent, CEO of HealthLynked, commented: "The
healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving as patients demand more
affordable and convenient healthcare solutions. Traditional methods
of seeing a provider often involve numerous value-eroding steps,
such as finding a doctor that is located nearby, making an
appointment, gathering medical records, and ensuring the doctor
accepts their insurance. HealthLynked has addressed these pain
points by simplifying the process of finding a doctor, booking
appointments, and managing medical records. With the expansion of
our telemedicine service, we are increasing the value-capturing
solutions that allow patients to see a healthcare provider more
conveniently and at a lower cost. Unlike other telemedicine
providers, HealthLynked connects in-office appointments with
telemedicine visits, allowing patients to seamlessly share their
care with local healthcare providers after a remote
consultation."
Edward Mandel, CEO of HC Smart, added: "We are thrilled to
partner with HealthLynked to bring our advanced telemedicine
capabilities to a broader audience. This collaboration aligns with
our mission to innovate and enhance healthcare delivery, ensuring
patients receive timely and efficient care regardless of their
location. Together, we are setting new standards for telemedicine
services in the United States."

opportunity in the expanding telehealth market. By leveraging
