UBERDOC Receives Validation and Credibility Guarantee from the Validation Institute
BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 26, 2021 / UBERDOC, the leading digital healthcare platform connecting patients to doctors for a transparent price, announced today that UBERDOC has been verified by the Validation Institute, an independent, objective, third party organization focused on changing health care. By making primary care easily accessible, UBERDOC is now proven to reduce emergency care for non-emergencies.
As stated in the 2020 Validation Report for UBERDOC, by shortening the wait for specialty care, UBERDOC may reduce the need for emergency and inpatient hospital care. A recent study shows that same-day access significantly predicted fewer non-emergent and primary care treatable emergency room visits. Due to this, up to 30 percent of emergency room visits can be avoided by making access to primary care faster.
The validation confirms that the new benefit offering from UBERDOC, UBERDOC for Employers, is a guaranteed choice for employers of all sizes to add to their benefit programs by providing priority access to care. UBERDOC for Employers provides a new option for employees to directly schedule an appointment with a specialist without the additional wait time that can affect productivity and employee well-being. While it typically takes more than three weeks to see a specialist, UBERDOC for Employers provides employees immediate access to specialists without the need for insurance or a referral, drastically reducing that wait time.
"Now more than ever, employers need new benefit options that allow employees to prioritize their health in order to create a happier, healthier, more productive workforce," said Sue Morrell, General Manager of Validation Institute. "As shown within our Validation Report, UBERDOC for Employers should be the complementary benefit offering employers add to their arsenal to increase priority access to care."
UBERDOC achieved Level Three Validation for Metrics, where Validation Institute is confident that UBERDOC performs as stated. As part of the validation, Validation Institute will provide up to a $10,000 guarantee as part of its Credibility Guarantee Program that confirms that a validated solution provider will achieve what the validation language on a marketing claim says it will achieve.

"With illness-related productivity losses costing organizations more than 530 billion dollars per year, employers must provide more options for priority access to care outside of insurance," said Dr. Paula Muto, CEO and founder of UBERDOC. "This verification from the Validation Institute makes it clear -- give employees access to care when they need it with UBERDOC. Removing the barriers to care is a win-win for both employers and employees."
With a network of more than 3,000 board-certified doctors, UBERDOC adds more flexibility for employees' healthcare options and complements employer benefits packages. This new service from UBERDOC can be an additional benefit to health insurance and doesn't violate employer-insurance network arrangements. While employees are able to use health insurance for subsequent care, UBERDOC provides an additional option that gives employees more choices for prompt care from board-certified doctors.
